Perhaps Arenaria purpurescens ?    Petals too pointed for Silene I think.

Eric, if I could remember the half of what I know I've forgotten, I'd be happy! I swear it's the sign of a busy brain! ;)

I can usually remember the name of plants....until someone says "What is that?"

That's familiar!   Ian and I can walk around,  mentioning   plants by name that are doing well, half an hour later  someone askswhat it is and neither of us has a clue!

Perhaps a good job that the majority of the people looking round here to buy the house are so blown away by the garden that they do not ask.

My dad always used to say "I've forgotten more than you'll ever know" in relation to gardening....but probably a lot of other things too ;D
