Is it worth keeping or a weed ?
You may remember me recently sending in a photo of a plant and asking what it was. I'd set some malope tryffida seeds from a packet and this had grown along with them but was very different.
It has grown considerably and I hope you can tell me what it is and whether to keep it or chuck it. Thanks
Please God let me send it the right way up.

Found it thanks to you guys. I didn't know I'd sent the question twice. My ipad has been messing me about just recently.

ANTIRRHINUM ! Just saw picture. Looke great. It's nearly 10 inches tall now? Should I put it out in the front garden ? Stake it ?

Oh dear, it appears I should have pinched the top out much sooner than this. Should I do it now or let it keep growing ?
Sorry to go on but quite excited. I hope it's perrenial.

I never bother pinching the tops and they still bush out, after the first spike has finisheded if not before. No need to stake. They can be perennial in a mild winter and they also self seed.

Thanks Sue. No pinching. Can I now put it out in the garden ? It's almost a foot tall and very healthy.
