Could they be zinnias?

Mmmm nope, I've never planted zinnias. It just occured to me that it might be some seeds that fell out of my flax straw... what do flax seedlings look like?

Flax has narrower leaves. Just be like me and leave them be until they grow up.

On second thought - thinking of some of the disasters i've let grow in my garden - maybe you'd better not listen to me! LOL

Geez, it rings a bell, could it be annual Candytuft?

They look like the weed I have in my garden. Soon people will think I grow nothing but weeds. If it is the same thing, it will have white flowers soon. I have seen them flower at 2" and others at 6". They will also branch out and can get quite wide but never to tall, about 8" at most. They are easy to pull out and don't let them set seed or they will take over. As Marciaz3 suggested leave them until they flower and you can see better what you have. Marg

Here is a picture of my Charmer Mix Flax for comparison.

Thanks for the input. I think it looks suspiciously like flax... and the flax bale was right there. I'm gonna yank em. Thanx for the pic Shel.
