unknown 'weed' in the greenhouse
« on: November 18, 2013, 12:22:40 PM »
This plant germinated sometime at the end of the summer and has now been flowering for about 1 month, there are even seedpods on it.  Last year, I also had one growing in the greenhouse, but it got killed by frost before having reached flowering size.  I think the seeds of this plant must have come with the potting soil I use, because they only germinate where I planted something in the greenhouse.
