    These look like baby caper spurge seedlings, Euphorbia lathyrus. (Another for your collection!)

    A weed I suppose, but I find them utterly fascinating especially in flower. At this stage you can transplant somewhere you can appreciate their alien, angular form (about 1m high, winter green, and with a weird green umbrella shaped flower head next summer).
