    I have had a few trays of begonia boliviensis seeds germinating and growing under grow lights in a nice warm temperature controlled cupboard, and although germination hasn't been great, I do have some seedlings. One in particular however, is completely different to the rest:

    What is the wee tall fellow at the back? And why would it go skyward bound like that when there is tons and tons of light available (as borne out by the lovely deep green of the other seedlings)?

      Looks like some kind of brassica. A rape seed perhaps? That stuff gets everywhere.
