Any ideas?

A mate of mine has had this appear in some containers this spring.

Any ideas at to what it is would be good.

 

Blimey,

Stuffed there Pete, looks like an allium has crossed with a carrot

And we all know that can't happen, unless its in Los Angeles.:DOH:

 

Don't know, but reminds me of a Clover .. perhaps a wild one ... ?

A strange Coleus hybrid/cultivar .. I have one ... can't remember it's name but up on Exotic ...

 

I think I've seen it before but never bothered to sort out a name.

But thankyou ziggy, very much for your thoughts

 

Victoria, CLOVER???

 

Sorry pete:DOH:

Not some sort of Scabious is it

 

Thanks Ziggy, I see where you are coming from

I KNOW the damn plant,just can`t put a name to it for now.:D

Candytuft.

 

Bird seed could very well be the answer Ruth

Dai, candytuft, "you cannot be serious".

I too have had this plant pop up from time to time and always around spilt bird feed....

 

Looks like Gilia capitata. Common names bluehead gilia, blue field gilia, and globe gilia
