Default Identification of strange plant requested. Yorkshire, England.

In the new year I planted up two new terracotta troughs with
some daffodil bulbs from last year, in new peat based compost.
The daffs came through OK and also these two little plants!!
one in each trough.
When the daffs had finished I replaced them and potted these
two separately- see Flikr links below for photographs - and
brought them into my conservatory.

I wondered if you could throw any light on what they might
be, having drawn a blank at two local nurseries/garden centres.

They don't seem to be of local origin and my suspicion is
that they have originated in the peat as I don't see any
other way for them to have arrived!!

I'm not familiar with plants from your latitude, nor am I familiar
with the potting stuff you've used. What is it, please? TIA

Cheers, Phred.
