I sowed some seeds from a packet mix into a small pot, however, I have no idea what the primary seedling is. It was the first thing to sprout up, and currently stands at 4 inches (10 cm). I thought it was a Bearbind at first, but when it started leafing out, I noticed the leaves were the wrong shape. So does anyone know what this is? Thanks for any help you can give!

What were some of the seeds in the packet mix? Maybe we could narrow it down better if we knew the possibilities.
Flower mix? Vegetable mix?

I suppose I should've given more information...
It was out of an old-fashioned flower mix packet, and I planted a few kinds of seed in the pot, but only seedlings of this sort ever came up. It's either a Bearbind (Convolvulus tricolor; which I planted specifically from it's own seed packet) or it came from one of the mixed seeds. From the mixed seeds, I sowed a few seeds that were crescent-shaped, fairly large, tan, and horny, and I sowed seeds that were tiny and black. Thank you for the replies!

Another Update: My friend was wrong. I bought potted rooting gel from stokes, and place 2 rooting Bearbind seeds in one pot... That's what htis was all along, a Bearbind. What a goose chase!
