Id of plant please

Looks like something from the Chenopodiaceae (Beetroot family). Possibly Good King Henry or an Orache of some sort.

It looks like it might be common orache [Atriplex patula] it is a weed seed, it may have been in the compost rather than the purchased seed.

you got in there just be fore me Fractal but i think orache too.

Possibly one of the many leaf form variants of Common Orache (Atriplex patula)

Lol.......er....no!......hopefully!

never owned an anorak in my life!! The wildflowers were a part of my day to day childhood. i was always asking 'what is it?' and my beloved uncle would either tell me or we'd go through books together to find out. birds, flowers, rock pools, butterflies etc

aah bless thats nice
am trying that with lil girl but shes more interested in digging and finding worms

early days yet though

oh i did that too and collected caterpillars in jamjars with fresh leaves every day to watch it hatch into butterflies.

haha I was catching caterpillars today, to do exactly the same (shudder) but we feed the butterflies to our chameleon!!

hes a big boy

thats good too and its good that cody learnes about food chains.

Just to say thanks guys.
I have found another one of these growing in a geranium pot, so the seeds were almost certainly in the compost.
Anybody used it in salads?
