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 |

Greater Stitchwort aka Stellaria holostea and a common hedgerow 'weed'
that is a very superior cousin of the common chickweed or marginally lesser cousin of the garden pink - make your choice. I like to see it and it makes a nice, lowly boscage of pleasantly leafy stems topped with rather showy white flowers at this time of year. It is very obvious for a couple of weeks and then disappears into the the undergrowth until the following spring. |

Nice picture but I always find it helps to see a leaf or two as well. David Hill |

Agreed; if you pull a leaf away from the stem, it comes away with a short "thread" of stem fibre; hence the name. Nice spring hedgerow plant. |

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. -- Stewart Robert Hinsley |

It's an upright plant and the chickweeds creep. Tina |

I'd go with the stitchwort identification. -- Kay |

And on Friday I did notice some in flower in a hedgerow near here. I couldn't stop but it looked right. -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon Exotic plants, shrubs & perennials online |
