| | | Small White Flower ID please
I was out today looking for 'new' flowers when I came across this one. At first I noticed only one group with only a single flower fullly open then I noticed many more within the next few hundred yards. From a distance, if the flowers are not open, it looks like a pale green grass.
Can anyone tell me what it is please? The flower is about 1 cm across.

It looks like Greater Stitchwort (Stellaria holostea) to me. |

I'd say Greater Stitchwort too. I've seen it quite a lot in the Chiltern Hills this week. |

Thanks a lot for the ID. I may have got the size wrong. Rose and others give flowers as 20 - 30 mm across. I'll have to remember to take a measure with me from now on. | | |
