    My garden is full of self-seeded plants. I usually let seedlings grow for a bit till I can tell if it's a weed or something I want to keep. Not sure about these though - any ideas?

    The first one looks rather like my large ornamental poppies, they start off like that..

    The second has a familiar look but can't think what at present..... :scratch:

    Ah, that makes sense, I do have a lot of poppies of many varieties, which self seed every year. Thanks Marley

    That other one looks so familiar though.. Do you have any Leycesteria around could be a seedling from that.. A weed doesn't spring to mind at present..Still thinking.. :SUNsmile:

    No I don't, though I guess a neighbour might have. Had to google it and it's quite pretty so I don't mind if it's that. It can stay for the time being anyway.
