I clipped this last fall . . .

Shortly after I potted it, there were little pink flowers. It's a foot high now.

Dunno' what it is, but it's doing ok.

Were the flowers sitting in little pods? If so its probably Moses in the Bullrushes. Not sure of the proper name.

I think it could be one of the tradescantia plants like Moses-in-the-cradle.

That doesn't look like it to me.

I'll keep fishing around for transcantia and see what happens

Moses in the cradle is one of the tradescantias. I was just giving you a name to look up to find yours, Carly.
