Solved Red Robin Stem

Is this a stem from the Photinia Red Robin, ie, which flowered?

 

Not Photinia Red Robin...looks like a weed.

Photinia Red Robin pics below.

 

Thanks. It had two bloom stems when I bought it and there are two of these so thought it might be. I will remove them tomorrow.

 

Please can you add a pic to show the whole plant.

 

Looks to me like a willowherb(Epilobium) after flowering. They are very good at sending their feathery seed all over and finding their way into growing up through all sorts of shrubs. If you are taking it out take care to get out the full plant as I have found the stem can snap without the root coming out and then more shoots may come up again.

Happy gardening!

 

Exactly what @Macraignil has said.

 

Thank you Macraignil and Michael ... that is what PlantNet said.

The weedy Willow herb has deciduous soft, leaves that are tiny.
What is worrying me is that you could even mistake it for Photinia Red Robin which had flowered.....a large shrub with leathery leaves.
Which is why I would like to see the rest of the plant to make sure that is what you have.
Pics below are Chamaenerion angustifolia..common name rose bay willowherb.

 

I bought it from a reputable Garden Center in April.

 

perfect ...many thanks.
That is exactly what you bought with the free extra gift of willow herb.

 

Thank you @Silver surfer for your help and advice. Yes, I guess it was gifted from the Garden Center. You can just see the flowers sort of centrally to the back. It is a lovely shrub. I did not think it would survive here in the dry heat but I saw a median on a divided dual carriageway in Armacao de Pera lined with them so I bought one.
