    Top one is Garlic Mustard. Its a bienial, so it'll flower next year. Use in salads, quite a strong flavour.

    You brushed by a plant in a hedgerow last year wearing corduroy trousers, the seed became lodged in the folds & then fell off as you were potting the Cannas up:snork:

    Either that or it was in the compost:biggrin:

    never seen one before , what i think is last year I`ve done many plants trade and maybe a seed was in some of the soil and in somehow end up in my canna.
    the second one look like a persicaria , but strengly I didn`t repot the plants for at least 3 years or even more , those on the back are 2 rare cordilyne stricta , that unfortunatly can only take -5 ....they where stunning .
