Looking for ID of wild flower

Growing in sphagnum moss (very wet) beside a lake in central Finland;  it's tiny, flower stems around 5cm tall max, and trailing stems with alternate leaves.  Pale pink flowers like a dodecatheon - upswept petals.  Pretty in an understated way...   :)  Does anyone recognise it, please?
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.

    A cranberry?

    Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
    Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

    Thanks, @Pete.8.  You're right, of course... and now I feel stupid because I used to grow cranberries in my Yorkshire garden.  I obviously didn't grovel to look at the flowers!

    I had no idea what it was to be honest - Google Images came up the answer.
    I hadn't realized what a pretty little flower cranberries have
