Can anyone identify this seedling please? I suspect it is either a poppy, or aubretia.
thanks. x
hmmm. Just an update, beginning to wonder about this seedling, (I say this seedling, but there are hundreds of them now around the garden). New photo shows some growth, and it is around 4 cm across. Outgrowing all the aubretia leaves. Does anyone still think it might be aubretia?

If that's the case Andy, then I'm really lucky as there are a lot of them, and I love aubretia.

I'm growing some Aubretia from seed at the moment, they look just like yours, Derek.

I'm almost certain it's an aubretia. I've grown thousands from seeds on my nursery

According to my notes I planted renees garden poppy seeds , purple grape, and my leaves look a lot like yours. You might need to fact check this off the top of my head but I’m pretty sure Poppy seeds are really small. If you grew it in the garden near before it could have reseeded also. If I’m not sure, sometimes I will let it grow for a while until I can really tell…
Those seeds I thought were pretty old. I’m surprised I germinated so well.
