In case anyone's curious, I was able to get an ID on this plant:
Pilea pumila, or Canadian clearweed. -AndyS |

I assumed that it wasn't Urtica dioica, as you would presumably have noticed the stings, and therefore some North American relative, but I see that Wikipedia says that Pilea pumila is often mistaken for nettle. -AndyS -- Stewart Robert Hinsley |

Yes, it's a non-stinging nettle relative. I feel pretty dumb, because there were nettles growing in the vicinity. But I didn't make the connection. Oh well, I'm not botanist. :-) -AndyS |
