Question
these 2 plants have shot up in my greenhouse. I have never seen any thing like it but I do buy a lot of bird food (seeds ect) from our local shops. sorry just read about you being in new England .I am in cornwall uk.
Answer
Dear Les, I'm happy to help whenever I can. In this case, I do recognize this plant. It is Euphorbia lathyris (gopher spurge). The opposite leaves in 4 distinct ranks with the pale midvein are good identifying characters. If you bruise a leaf, you will notice a white latex exuding from it. Best wishes.
