Probably not campion

the flowers look a lot more like Pea family ... not the symmetric 5-point stars of Silene?

Re: Probably not

As per your suggestion I did a bit of searching around in the Pea family and now believe it is Dwarf Clover. Comparing descriptions and photos it seems to be a match. Let me know what you think. Thanks!

"All my life, people have asked the question, directly or indirectly, "Why the hell do you climb mountains?" I can't explain this to other people. I love the physical exertion. I love the wind, I love the storms: I love the fresh air. I love the companionship in the outdoors. I love the reality. I love the change. I love the oneness with nature: I'm hungry; I enjoy clear water. I enjoy being warm at night when its cold outside. All those simple things are extremely enjoyable because, gosh, you're feeling them, you're living them, you're senses are really feeling, I can't explain it." --Paul Petzoldt
