Is this a pepper or a weed? I planted pepper seeds according to my calendar in may and this just popped up a while ago so I’m not sure if it actually is because it took too long. Does anybody know?

Update: Now that it grew more leaves i was able to identify it as flower of an hour which is a weed 😭

What kind of pepper? It doesn’t look like a jalapeño or bell pepper seedling
