We're back from Wales and while passing a florists in Lampeter I saw a
tray of these for sale. Having never seen anything like them before I went
in to ask about them.

The florist had no idea what they were but that he'd sold a lot. A
customer said she didn't know what it was but that it grew on her rockery,
in Lampeter, and spread.

I bought one for the novelty - and to use for ground cover I hope.

Someone here will know what it is - I hope.

It looks like orange dress pins stuck into tiny cress! This picture is
poor and I forgot to use something for scale. the whole of the plant is
not more than 4" across.
