Looks like Lobelia erinus. Trailing Lobelia. Common summer bedding which will seed around in warm climates.

What's the story behind the pots? Did you put any seeds in there? What was growing in/around those pots if you had them last year? Hope it's something "good!"

I'm pretty sure on my id. They self seed here in the cracks in the pavement under window boxes.

Sorry, didn't mean to sound like I doubted it, which I don't.

lately there have been some rose cuttings in. But it is a recycled pot, don't know if before there could have been Aristolochia elegans seeds in (but the seedlings don't look like this). I had Lobelia in other pots but the leaves look very different at this stage, they're kinda glossy, like succulent leaves.
