Speedwell #791301

Asked May 17, 2022, 4:46 PM EDT

I found a plant that I couldn't identify, I suspect that it is somehow related to the Speedwell that you'd normally see here, but these tiny flowers are not only blue but pink as well! Any idea what these may be? I included two photos (put together in a collage) of the flowers under a magnifying glass as well as a side-by-side with Speedwell and a photo of the entire plant.
