I hope someone can help with identifying the following plant. The stalks that lying down are 20 cm long. The pink flower has a diameter of 6 mm. I never had this plant in my garden. It is a self seedling. I would be very grateful for your help.

Not sure here (and I can't get to the books--leaving for your side of the pond soon...), but I'd love seed! It's a little beauty...
-
Hanz, that is a lovely little thing. I have no idea what it is, never seen it before, hope you can save some seed for the exchange once it is identified. I'm sure someone here will be able to tell you.

When i have a look at the leave's and the seedpot's it looks like a eucalyptus specie's

I found this
Eucalyptus Euphorbia on my Iranian travels. I think there are similarities - both are beautiful
-
Franz, it has typical perfoliate leaves.
And it looks mostly like Claytonia perfoliata, which sometimes may show a little pinkish flowers.
But I never saw such pink as on you pictures.

It certainly isn't a Euphorbia. :) Arthur, yours looks like E. myrsinites. Not sure whether it grows as far east as Iran but maybe subsp do. I have one which is E. myrsinites in miniature. Everything the same except for size and the bracts are sea green, same as the leaves, not lime green as in the bigger form.
Re-reading, I see you say Eucalyptus but I'm sure that's just a slip of the finger? ;D
-
It reminds me of Claytonia perfoliata, it's certainly not that species but maybe it's in the same family??

What was I thinking about when posting - yes a slip of the finger. Now you know why I have waited to post my photos from the trip.
Having googled E. myrsinites, I am sure you are right. Seems to be a desirable plant.
