Please identify tiny plant (photo)

Can anyone identify this? It's very tiny and was growing in a wall - I've transplanted it to a pot, hope it's equally happy there!

I'm not sure but it looks like ones I have that produce tiddly yellow flowers, the burgundy leaves are similar. I weed around them.

It’s Ivy-leaved toadflax - Cymbalaria muralis. They seem to prefer walls and rocky places to grow, so not sure it will like to be in a pot.

Thank you very much! And what a wonderful name for a plant. Perhaps the pot isn't the best place for it then.....

It will go where it likes - I have never had any joy trying to winkle it out from where it wants to be and putting somewhere I think more appropriate. That said, once you have it you have it for ever more. It's such a lovely little plant.

Yes it was hard getting it out of my friend's wall in the first place with some root still intact. I ended up with quite a bit of rootless strands, which I have put in water in the hope they put out some rootage. No experience of this plant so we shall see! I'm enjoying getting to know it though, it's very charming!

It was introduced from Italy in about the 16th century, but is now naturalised in Britain. I remember it from the walls when I was a child, and now have it growing in my walls, and self seeding into every flower pot.

Once it settles in, it spreads. Lovely little plant - also called Kenilworth Ivy or pennywort.
