Weed or plant? Please help identify!

Hi Everyone

Can someone identify the plant/weed in the photo for me please? Its grown in a tub I thought I was growing Spring Onions from seed in and the leafy growth is all coming from one stem and is prolific which makes me suspect a bird has sown a weed for me but its not one I know. Thanks.

    Looks like mimulus to me. Nice plant, probably yellow flowers, but seeds all over the place.

    Grows well in bog gardens and on edges of ponds too.Easy to pull up if not wanted though. image

    Hi kleipieper, thanks I hope you`re right, as I have a tiny sunken barrel pond that Mimulus would look good by. The soil its growing in is the opposite of boggy being very well drained and I`m now wondering if it would transplant?

    Hi wishbone, I would give it a go. Nothing ventured, nothing gained, and bog plants usually transplant quite well. I'm sure it will be alright image.  Good luck!
