help ID plant

I forgot to put a label out for this plant.

Is it sorrel?

My Plant Net app suggest one option could be Chickory

has55, do you have a list of things you planted? I do better with multiple choice tests/quizzes. Even better if you put an asterisk by the correct answer. I want to help and make myself look brilliant at the same time. I can tell you it doesn't look like anything that I grew on purpose. Do you have a list of things that you have grown and I never have?

What an interesting plant - would like to know what it is as well.

According to the PlantNet app on my phone, it is most likely, "Echium vulgare — known as viper's bugloss and blueweed — is a species of flowering plant in the borage family Boraginaceae."

OhioGardener, I will post a link to Echium vulgare that has pictures and a description. Identification of seedlings is extremely difficult as some plants go through a metamorphosis. It is the reason why I started growing weeds here through their life cycle. The link.

As far as apps go, I tried several last year to help with identifying species as part of the master gardener program for the Tree, Shrub, Vine book which had over 30 something specimens that had to be collected and identified. I took a ton of pictures and never had one correctly identified. I then bought several books and headed back into the woods. I do know this, if you stare at leaves and stems long enough, the world begins to look green and brown. I don't know which app it was but it would give you several possibilities and then ask, Is this it?. Which I thought was hilarious. If I knew I wouldn't need the app.

I do think as the season progresses has55 will figure what he has and get back to us for confirmation.
