What is this plant?

Can anyone help me identify this plant?

Regards from Montreal,

Looks like an oak to me.

It does and that was my first thought. But it is a weird shape. Maybe it is three or four little oak babies jammed in a pot? But I also think there is a vining plant with leaves that look like that, whose name I can't think of... :?: :?:

It could be an Oaked Leaf Hydrangea RB...but the leaves still look too Oaky to me.

I was thinking there's an herbaceous weed that looks kind of like that, but I can't think of the name. :?

What is te expectation? Is it supposed to BE something, or was this potted up because it was interesting (or it grew unexpectedly in this pot)? It's a yogurt container right? What size is it? I can't decipher the numbers. :roll: (is it 750 ml I.e. 3 cups?)

the leaves look verry oaky, but those stems sure seem thick and succulent and decidedly non-oaky. I don't have an answer, other than not thinking it's oak.

Many thanks for your replies.

This grew in a tray where I was germinating Amaranths. This seedling looked different, and I just thought why not let it grow a bit!

I'm no pro, and though it's hard to tell from the picture, it does have a weed/vine like appearance. The plant is 6" tall, it is sloped over to it's side, and has grown this size in about 2 weeks. It sits in a 750ml yogourt container.

I'll grow a bit more and see what comes out of it!

Definitely not an oak tree if it is growing that fast! Something herbaceous and weedy, probably vining.
