Another plant ID

[Pinkywoo]

This self seeded in one of my pots and I have no idea what it is. I was waiting for flowers but although it's growing really well there's none yet, anyone know what it is?

It reminds me of something that self seeded in my garden which I think was evening primrose if I recall correctly.

Looks like a weed. Download a plant ID app. They're amazingly accurate.

I don't have a clue

This my, as yet, not flowering Evening Primrose

I second weed!

Looks like a rosebay willowherb to me.

It's definitely not an evening primrose then, I've been saying to DH I bet I've been nuturing a bloody weed but I liked it's leaves!

It's not rosebay willowherb. It looks as if those taller stems are working their way up towards flowering, so I would wait a little longer.

Plant apps have their uses but when they get it wrong, they get it very wrong, and they don't give you any indication that they're not quite sure.

Agree with MereDint that plant finder apps are far from infallible!

Not at all sure on this one for ID, but one thing is for certain - it is not a weed, 'weeds' are simply wildflowers growing somewhere where they are not wanted for some reason! Many are as beautiful as, if not more so, than their cultivated relatives. Imagine if a dandelion, for example, were uncommon, grown by a specialist nursery and cost you a small fortune - would you not treasure it, admire it and show it off to all your friends? They are, after all, not dissimilar to Doronicum which is cultivated for its showy, yellow, daisy like flowers!

Anyway, back to your mystery plant - yes, let it flower to give a better idea of what it is! For what it is worth, it could potentially be a Verbascum, either chaixii or phoeniceum, but I say that with very little confidence - the structure looks right, but the leaves don't.

Do let us know when it flowers, I am intrigued.

I will @Beekeeper1, I'm intrigued too!

is it teasel?

I'm growing some this year and it looks a bit like it, but mine are much, much smaller, still rosettes really.

I don't think so @Roseburn, I've just had a Google and teasel leaves look shiny, the mystery plant has very soft almost fluffy leaves, they feel like my lavatera.
