    Looks a bit like foxgloves @alfharris8, but it could also be something else that I can't bring to mind. 
    I thought for a moment you were needing a reminder of what day it was - something I often need!  ;)

    @Fairygirl   :D  :D

    So do I !!  In fact, when I turn my computer on in the morning, I have to look at the date!!  Thus the need for an agenda - I write everything down!

    Sorry @alfharris8  I have no idea......of the name of the plant.

    Ha ha. I'm better with days now Christmas and Lockdowns have passed. 
    I don't recall potting up a foxglove but who knows? 😂

    @tui - it's Thursday.... :D

    If it is that, it may well have seeded in there @alfharris8, but it also looks like something else and I just can't remember. Someone else might be able to help though  :)

    It’s definitely a foxglove,  if it was in ground it would make a big plant and probably bloom again.  Lots of new plants coming out from the base. 
    Cut last year’s stalks off. I doubt there’s any seeds left in them now.

    I've got 5 seedling plants with two true leaves which do look quite close to yours, and I'm thinking they might be borage? Though your plant does look like foxgloves.

    Sometimes it is easy to confuse digitalis with alkanet.

    Borage flowers are not like those flower stalks.

    The middle bit definitely looked foxglove, but I some of the others looked different so I started to doubt myself!
    The foliage can sometimes change as the plants grow too, which is why I thought it could be something else as well.
