Identification appreciated please.

Incredibly fragile plant.

Looks like a sedum.  If you email Ray Stephenson at the Sedum Society, he is the authority on the genus.  So many look similar....

Thanks Chris ... I had considered sedum (the flowers certainly give that impression) and umbilicus and a few others and would certainly have consulted the Sedum bible if it wasn't in storage along with the rest of my alpine library after our proposed house move fell apart at the last minute.  I miss my books so much and MUST get them back to their rightful place before I go completely mad.  (Far too late for that was the conjoined cry)!!!

Looks like Sedum ternatum, a native of eastern North America. See http://tenn.bio.utk.edu/vascular/database/vascular-database.asp?CategoryID=Dicots&FamilyID=Crassulaceae&GenusID=Sedum&SpeciesID=ternatum

 
 It is the common species. Glaucophylla is far more attractive and rarer. Nevii is nice, but I don't think as attractive.

Many thanks Aaron ... I think you have cracked it!  Now all I have to fathom is how it arrived in my garden in East Lancashire!

Aaron hits the  nail on the head... once again! I'm not surprised..... Aaron is one of the Forum's greatest assets..... thanks Aaron... we do appreciate you! 

Cliff....it must be from seed you were given on your NARGS speaker's trip ?
