About 2-3 weeks ago, while examining one of my potted plants, I noticed a little stem with a pair of leaves poking out of the dirt beside the potted palm. It did not resemble new growth from a palm at all so I assumed that the neighboring potted mint with its extended stems and leaves had somehow invaded the soil of the palm. I plucked the little growth out and gave it a small container of its own along with fresh soil.

The photos below show the development after about 7 days and then 14 days. It doesn't look a darn thing like mint! We are completely mystified by this new plant and our new theory is that it is some sort of common weed that got into the soil while the plant was in its nursery or perhaps at the store.

Despite it not being the most attractive plant so far, I am completely amused by the rapid growth of this plant and find it rather fascinating.
