The one on the left was an abandoned seed experiment that took me by surprise when it later popped up and id removed the label so possibly a morning glory.  If it is will it overwinter inside?  

The other one was a self seed in my leaf mould pile so being under the privet hedge i assumed it was privet but the emergence of a red leaf and their changing shape says otherwise.  Thanks team.

    The left one looks like Spanish flag to me, but the photo is a bit blurry zoomed in so hard to tell.

    It does look a bit like Ipomea aka Morning Glory,  it's one of those "l know what it is but l just can't think" moments for me.
    Can't help with the right hand one l'm afraid.

    left looks like ipomea of sort, the right looks like some sort of prunus laurocerasus

    Left is Mina lobata, I think, trying to remember from last year, as I haven't grown any this year.

    Ah prunus, hadn't thought of that.  Got a pesky self seeding tree in next doors that self seeds in the other hedge.  Will check that out, ta.

    Ive got seeds of morning glory and spanish flag but i think it's more likely mg.  Off to google possibilities for this year, it has put on rapid growth since I spotted it! Exciting gardening innit? 😅

    Mina lobata [ Spanish Flag ] was formerly classed as an Ipomoea [ Morning Glory ], so the are quite similar.
