I have a few plants which I grew from seed a few weeks ago but I don't
know what they are. A couple of seeds came from Madeira where I was
on
holiday. I picked the seeds up in the hotel car park. One of the
plants looks like it could be a weed.
Can anybody help identify them please? They are all in three inch
pots.

Not at all sure about these so suggestions only!
1 Could be a Catalpa bignonoides
2 Tetrapanax?
3 Italian parsley? Doubtful!
4 Don't know
5 Sorrel

Thanks for the suggestions Sacha. The 3rd isn't parsley or any herb for
that matter. It's tasteless. I haven't tasted the 5th one yet. I will
do so later. Not sure about the 1st one being Catalpa...thingy. The
leaves aren't quite the right shape unless there are a lot of
variations. It is growing fast as are the others. I know it isn't
Morning Glory now as it isn't a climber. The stem is stiff. The
lookalike parsley isn't growing fast so maybe it won't be a big plant.
Still not had a definite ID on any of them. They need to grow a bit.
Best to get more photos in a few weeks and post again. It's certainly
turning into a mystery for me. I'm a bit nervous of number 4 and what
to do with it. I don't want to destroy it as it might be a very nice
plant that isn't cannabis.

I can't believe that you need to throw any of them away. Even if one
of them did turn out to be Cannabis sativa, you have plenty of evidence
that you've tried to establish its identity properly. And imo, none
of them are that. And no, your first plant isn't morning glory which
is Ipomoea and which we grow here as a perfectly legitimate climber.
I'm starting to think of Thunbergia, perhaps gregorrii. I think you'd
help yourself a lot if you took some of them suggestions given here and
fed them into Google images. You don't comment on Numbers 2 or 5, so
your own opinion on a Google image search may be of use to you. It will
be fascinating to get the ID on all these just out of curiosity.
