Is this Black Eyed Susan....

Dear all,  
I sowed Rudbeckia Gloriosa seeds and duly marked the rows, along with other seeds. Various seeds germinated, some more profusely than others and seemed to drift across rows.
I'm left with these two, the small ones have been very slow and I'm really not sure what they are (shiny smooth leaves)?  
The large ones, I initially thought looked like my foxgloves but they are growing longer stems and shoots.
Is the larger green hairy leaf Black Eyed Susan, and if so, what else have I managed to grow?
Thanks in advance, as always   :)

    The plants in the top pic look to me like prunus seedlings.

    The bigger green plant looks more like a rudbeckia ... but I'm not 100% certain that's what they are ... there are other seedlings that look like that too.

    Agree with @Dovefromabove. Top picture are not Rudbeckia, bottom picture does look like Rudbeckia.
