Bit of a long shot given how small these are……
Got a nice healthy pot full of seedlings popped up in what was a (and is now dead) Thalictrum.
Clearly not one of those … but I don’t think it’s weeds.
Any ideas please?
I shall keep them till they are bigger and try again later.
The one I’ve circled is a weed . The rest is definitely a flower of some sort.

Will be back later with suggestions of seedlings
scabious or poppy? Either of those likely candidates?

Don’t think so … unless blown in on the wind. Don’t grow either of those.
You’re going to have to grow them to find out now
. Or at least until they’re big enough to ID.

Don’t think they are pansies either.
Yes, shall definitely have to grow them on - they are certainly a lot healthier looking and prolific than the seeds that I have deliberately “autumn sown”. ( larkspur, clary, antirrhinums)
A friend called in and reckons they’re verbena bonariensis.
I do hope not …. Got plenty of those.
It made me think that they might be the tender perennial verbena because I bought a couple of those in the summer . Verbena showboat Midnight and another pale mauve one that is currently forming roots in a jam jar on the windowsill.
Fingers crossed - but I’m going to have to grow them on in hope.
I suppose that if the seedlings die, then they are the tender ones, and if they get bigger and bigger then they’re verbena Bon.
This is the mauve showboat verbena.
Jar label says chocolate mint …. But those have already rooted.
