These little guys are also called Creeping Saxifrage (Saxifraga stolonifera) and have begonia-like leaves. Lots of people grow them as house plants but mine are ground cover on the shady side of my house.

Here is another close-up of their unique flowers: Thumb of 2020-02-16/Lestv/c42fb9

And while this is not the best of shots it shows you the leaves, the small scale of the plant, and the numerous blooms. It filled up with even more blooms later but I didn't get any pictures.
