    The second one is Capsella rubella for sure - not C. bursa-pastoris nor C. grandiflora.
    But what is the first little plant? I thought about Lamium, but ours don´t have such pointed cotyledons...
    Is it an African lamium variety?

    Sorry, but you posted only pictures of weed.
    Please google for pictures of rose seedlings to see the difference.

    I have studied agriculture in the early 1980s and completed with the industrialized production of herbs in late 1980s after hard work and some science with cloning tropical plants.
    So please ask me, if you want to cultivate this weed for tea.

    I need more information about the plant you are talking about and how it would be exchanged for tea . The plant that I posted appeared without any treatment from myself - actually I planted climbing roses seeds in this pot , that is why I m confused

    Shepherd´s Purse tea is the name for that very simple produced leaf-tea from Capsella bursa-pastoris.
    Seed of this weed is a persistant vexation in European soils, but Capsella comes from the Eastern Mediterranians and Western Asia.
    And so, I think, Capsella seed - which is 30 years germinable - might be a common worry in Egyptian potting compost too.
    In the 1980s I mainly worked with hydroponics. And a friend of mine produces herbs in hydroponics and aeroponics today in Turkey. Let me send him an eMail about Capsella now and wait for an answer, what he thinks about the possibility to produce Capsella in aeroponics.
    I can´t produce Capsella here in Europe, because this plant is highly affectable for white blister in our climate and clubroot ubiquitous in our soils. We would have to grow Capsella over two years, while you in Egypt can seed it in late summer and grow through the winter in cold greenhouses without soil and never heated with low pressure nutrient circulation in aeroponics to harvest in early spring as flowering herb.

    Hi again!
    Now I have the first plant too.
    I was not sure before, but I thought about common mallow and lamium...
    It is Malva sylvestris the common mallow!
    How does it grow now, can you see the more developed leaf shape now?

    thank you - the plant still at the same size, yet i had confirmation from many sites - including yours - that the first plant belongs to the hollyhock family - thank you very much again for your help
