    Thank you, ive had 3 pop up so far, im guessing its a bird dropping seeds as ive never had these before and neither has the neighbour.

    It doesn't look hairy enough for a fowglove tome. In these parts we have a very disapointing weed that pretends to be a foxglve so it doesn't get pulled up. I don't know what it's called but that's what it looks like to me, I'd go and take a photo of my foxgloves but it's dark and I'll forget in the morning
