This weed has popped up in one of my hanging baskets. What is it and can I save seed from it?

    Looks like a Mimulus to me

    Far too pretty to be a weed! Looks like a Nemesia or a Diascia.

    Another vote for mimulus

    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

    Interesting. I think it's sprouted alongside a garden centre plug plant so one of their accidental sowings I imagine. I've been left in charge of the hanging baskets this year so the colour schemes are a bit random anyway. Thanks all.
