Quite a few of these popped up about 8 months after I sowed a packet of wild flower seeds. It's very pretty and I think, unusual.

    Looks like a viola - nice little plants to have around the garden & they should self seed fairly easily.

    They remind me of medieval lion carvings found in churches etc - they always have long tongues hanging out image
