When is a harebell not a harebell?

In February I started some Thompson and Morgan harebell seeds. I carefully nurtured them until they were ready to harden off and transplant. I was a little surprised when the biggest seedling sprouted a viola flower. Now the next biggest is as pictured below - it has campanula - like characteristics but the flower is not a harebell. I will admit that I didn't use sterile compost, but it doesn't look like a weed,or anything I've grown before! Any ideas?!

I've blown it up and the flower looks like a mimulus but I don't know the leaves well enough to say one way or the other.

I seem to remember quite a smallish mimulus with similar leaves - I'm going to ask Mr Google

Not quite what I was thinking of, and not quite what we have here masquerading as a harebell, but what do you think? I think we might have a second cousin here http://www.interseeds.co.uk/mimulus-bounty-red-25-seeds-10572-p.asp
If you click on the picture you can zoom in. Not sure about their description of it as being yellow tho'
