It came in a potted Canna I just purchased. The seed is still attached and it is about the size of half a pea. The leaf is not delicate like the average new seedling, it is thick and rubbery.
I've never seen this seedling here I thought perhaps one of you knows what plant this is?

Well now that the shell of the seed fell off, I can see the leaves are not round after all so I guess it is not a Nasturtium.
Can anyone recognize it now?

Well whatever it is it has quite pretty, shiny leaves! This will be fun watching it develop until someone can finally tell us exactly what it is.
Hoping it does not turn out to be something horrid
