i think suey may be right as the name seems familiar, bad picture doesnt help lol

Yes, that's definitely Campion - it's a Silene, not a Lychnis. I like them - I have a bright pink one and some prostrate ones, as well. ! I'm also growing some from seed at the moment.

They are the wild red campion Lychnis dioica.

well you lucky devil all mine are in varying shades of pink so you got my only white one :o)
well it is clearly happy so i dont mind at all. according to both my wildflower books an occasional white flower can be produced.
and i know i have never planted the other species.

yes they should all be white if they are from the same plant. dont worry about sending me any as i have lots of new seedlings coming up. i will see what mother nature gives me.
