     but the colour is completely wrong so I do think it's a bramble.  I have no idea what the first one is, sorry.

    I think the second one is a bramble shoot coming through.

    Failing that, it might be one of these:

    Oh dear, sorry.  The last two lines were supposed to come before the picture. oops

    Hello daisy. Yes, the second one is definitely a bramble seedling, dropped by a bird. The first may be an acorn that has lost its jacket.

    Apophthegm -  a big word for a small thought.

    Hi there, pansyface image  Just for information, I went out to the garden after my last post to pull up more of those weeds pictured above.  About halfway through a light bulb went off in my head and it occurred to me that these were hollyhock seedlings from my Chater's Double I grew last year.  I left the seed heads on in the hope it would self-seed.  I've come back in and checked on the internet, and it seems I'm right.  So now I have to let them grow a bit more and then try and pot them all up!

    At least I've made a bit of space for the euryops.

     

    You may be right about the acorn, image

    Daisyheadcase - not sure about those 'weeds' being hollyhocks - they look very like those hardy geraniums with shiny leaves Nut identified yesterday ............

    but I might be wrong

    The leaves aren't shiny Dove.  I don't think they're geraniums.....I get most of my weeds from my neighbour's garden and it was puzzling because he doesn't have any of this at all.  But I'm probably wrong - I'll just wait a while longer like most of us do and see what it is.

     

    Not sure what Mrsgarden's mystery plant is though....

    No, not geraniums. Not hollyhocks either.

    I thought Mrs G's might be a verbena but when enlarged it looks too hairy

    I did have some verbena seeds Nut, but didn't think they had made it.
