Does anyone know what this is:

Many thanks!!

I'd put it as one of the Cerastium family (Mouse-ears). Without knowing
the
size it's hard to be definite, but Field Mouse-ear has larger flowers than
other sp, at about 12-20mm diam



Hi cupra, another refugee from the weather group? I think it's a white
campion, myself. Is that the same as cerastium?


I'm not sure what it is, but it's not a white campion. It looks like
something from the chickweed family to me.


Mouseear is Cerastium spp, White Campion is Silene latifolia; both
belong to Caryophyllaceae (is that what you mean by chickweed family).
However I expect that Dave Poole's identification of it as Common
Stitchwort (also in Caryophyllaceae, and in the same genus as chickweed)
is correct.
