I'm going to be optimistic and presume they are the Asters. The compost came
out of a bag of J Arthur Bowers seed compost so I hope it wouldn't be
contaminated.
Knowing my luck though I'll probably spend the next few weeks carefully
nuturing some beautiful nettles

coming through in 2-3 days sounds suspiciously like weed seeds in the
compost.

Either that, or the propagator was set at too high a temperature. Asters
are hardy perennials and about 16C/60F would be about right for them.
