Seems to be a creeping ground-cover plant?

The genus is Hepatica. A wonderful woodlander.

Thank you GM

I'm sorry I disagree the 2 yellow bosses on the flower are very distinctive. it is Wall Toadflax Cymbalaria muralis. as the name suggests it usually hangs down walls although can creep along the ground too. At flowering time the flowers look outward but then turn round to face the wall and so the seeds have a greater chance of landing in a suitable place in the wall

Hi Paul - I agree with Michael - I would have said Linaria cymbalaria which is ivy-leaved toadflax. May well be similar or the same.

Thank you Michael and Andy. That is the plant I believe.
