Hi, I have found the following sprouting in my border. Is it a weed or a plant seed blown in from somewhere. Is anyone able to ID for me? Thank you

    I see dead laurel leaves. Could it be a baby laurel or a laurel sucker?

    Trimmed image seems to show trifoliate leaves....see1st pic.
    This rules out Lysimachia nummularia...common name creeping Jenny...which has simple leaves opposite to each other....see 2nd pic

    That was my first thought, too.
    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

    Choisya would be my guess too.
    Possibly 'Sundance'?

    I also think it's a tiny shoot of Choisia "Sundance".
