The fact that one of your plants is putting up a leafy flowering stem suggests that it is just the more common D. peltata or auriculata. Unfortunately it is not possible to tell between those two unless they are at least in bud (hairy vs smooth sepals). D. pygmaea is just a rosette with an unbranched, non-leafy flower stalk.
