I took this plant to be Stellaria holostea (Greater Stitchwort) at first glance and then I noticed that instead of the long grass-like leaves it had typical Cerastium opposite small, greyish leaves. This grows everywhere in the Breckland and can be quite short with the relatively large flowers on stalks only a few centimetres tall.
