What is This Plant?

I recently saw an unfamiliar plant in some window baskets.
It was low-growing with groups of 3 small(1cm+),oval almost heart shaped leaves. They were a pale greeny-yellow with red/russet blush to the edges of the leaves. The stems were very thin and wiry looking.
Any ideas? I've trawled through 100's of photos on the net,and have seen nothing similar.

@SlackAlice-I wish I could but it's a distance from here,and I just happened to notice them
@Robinia-sorry that's not it . The leaves do not appear to have any veins or ridges-but are smooth-the individual plants in the window boxes have a spread of about 6 inches,and are quit low.
Some species of sorrel or oxalis maybe ?
