Can anyone identify this plant with distinctive seeds? It looks neat, but I need to know whether to pull it up or not before it drops seed. I know that I have a definite weed next to it — like a thistle or something that is for sure going away.
Could this be a Money Plant? I googled to find a good picture but can’t really tell.
looks like Lepidium campestre or pepperweed
open a seed and smell it, is should smell like pepper.

Opened the seed pod thingie and no, it didn’t smell like pepper. Didn’t really smell like much of anything.
If you look closely, you can see a water feature in the background – created by Chris Siewig of Nature’s Re-creations, host of our last meeting.
I don’t know the name but it’s something I’ve seen often in my volunteer work at Museum of Transportation, in the sunny area, and I consider it a weed.
Money plant for sure. Not native. The seeds look like a coin. Lovely purple flowers. Spreads.
