Leonotis leonurus ID please

Question

A few weeks ago i planted some seeds of Leonotis leonurus, though one plant has come up that looks alot like my Alyssum i have growing, im pretty sure it is Alyssum because none of the other Leos look like it.

Here are some of my Leonotis leonurus

And heres mu Alyssum i have growing

post-4884-1226227637_thumb.jpg

The Alyssum seeds are store bought and Leo seeds came from Mexico so i know i didnt mix them up :wacko:

What do you guys think? Alyssum, Leo or something else all together?

Also the actual Alyssum at the bottom is a few weeks younger than the suspect.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

1 looks like epazote, but it might be Leonotis.

2 is a Cucurbit, probably pumpkin.

3 Also looks like a cucurbit, probably cucumber but best to have another look in a few days.

did you re use some pottingmix, or added some homemade compost?

because both pic's look like a pumkin seedling to me and not like a assylium at all.

pumkin seeds are notorious for selfseeding.

it could be anothe member of the cucubirtacea.

edit, torts post was not visible yet when i answered...

Ofcourse! :slap: hehe i did use a mixture of composted soil with potting mix, all makes sense now Lol

The first one im pretty sure is Leonotis leonurus, all the rest of the leonurus and my Leonotis nepetifolia look exactly the same.

Its my first time growing them so i hope they turn out good.

Thank you very much guys, theyre going straight into the ground tomorrow.
