Weird plant identification

I found this as a tiny thing growing in one of my pots at the end of last summer. Being curious I potted it on and voila a strange plant appeared. 
Anybody any idea what it is?

    It’s a Sedum. Don't know exactly which one. There are thousands.

    Bit of a spreader. Every bit turns into a plant. You have been warned.😁
    Apophthegm -  a big word for a small thought.
    If you live in Derbyshire, as I do.

    Petrosedum reflexum/rupestre or one of the many cultivated forms of that. A great plant to grow in pots along with herbs and trees. They throw up tall spikes of yellow flowers in the summer which are loved by the bees. I chuck cuttings all over the place to fill in awkward gaps or to add interest to pots.

    But I’m not likely to find one of those self seeded in my garden in Belfast.

    It's more likely it grew from a leaf cutting. They break off very easily. Keep it confined to a pot if you're worried about it becoming a weed. Don't expect a show-stopper though.
