Thank you. This was in a pot with a bush fuchsia. We've never planted crocosmia in this garden. The bulbs were definitely attached to the plant. It was like lifting new potatoes!
Sorry but those bulbs were not attacked to your green plant. Looking closely the bulbs appear to be daffodils. You can clearly see the pointed top and the round flat base plate where the roots would be.
I think that a purple toadflax (linaria) has seeded into a pot that was previously planted with daffodils, possibly dwarf type, and then a fuchsia planted on top. A lot of my bulb pots have linaria seeded into them.
I agree with the above, those plants haven’t come from those daffodil bulbs, I agree it could be Linaria but I’m not convinced, it’s in full flower now, the OP’s looks like just green.

Thank you so much for all your comments. I can see what you mean that they are daffodil bulbs. Really strange though - the fuchsia has been in the same huge pot for perhaps 15 years. Never planted anything else in there. This year it was obviously struggling so replaced most of the compost. Suppose a bulb could have crept in somehow (we live near the sea so have no squirrel input), but there are dozens of these bulbs which happened to be directly under the strange weed. Think I'll plant them and see what happens!
