Plant id help

I planted a lot of flower seeds in my beds this year and this is one something that came up. I don't know if it's a flower seed I planted or a weed.

It could be a sunflower of a more unusual type.

Sure looks like a sunflower to me...

it looks a bit like a cocklebur to me

Ya gotta admit there is a similarity to Datura.

At any rate, do not eat any part of it until you know for sure what it is.

Not at all like my datura. I still think sunflower. One with a deep red color.

I think all of your sunflower guesses are right. Did you happen to plant any "Black Sunflowers" ?

I thought I planted all my sunflowers in another spot. I noticed another one growing nearby the one pictured. I guess I need to write down where I plant seeds next year

Or maybe some little garden helper planted them for you?

Seeds are easy to drop. I have two random sunflowers growing in the bed where my tomatoes and peppers are. I know I did not plant them there. So either I dropped some seeds or a birds flew over and dropped some seeds. I like those surprises!
