    It could be a weed, but reminds me of a chrysanthemum.

    It's not a weed I'm familiar with. I can see what Logan means re Chrysanth but I don't think it is one. I wouldn't rush to dump, it might be something interesting. Can you remember who sent it to you on the seed swap? If you can, PM them and make sure they see this, they might recognize it.

    Could it be  Nicandra physaloides?  (Shoofly plant)

    Not sure if the leaf texture is right for it image

    It doesn't look like any of those to me but it does look vaguely familiarimage

    Something that looks like that has appeared in one of my nursery pots. It's not one of the weeds I nurture here. I shall preserve it and hope to ID it

  • Still no real idea what it is, but it looks as though its about to put up a shoot so I'll keep an eye on it.

  • That's a good call, pansyface!

     

    Not sure how it ended up in a packet full of unopened lupin seed pods?!

    I think it's a Chenopodium too, although I wouldn't like to go to species from the photos.

    More klikely from the compost than the seed packet Jimmy. I'm nuturing my stray until it flowersimage
