Small white wildflower ID, please.
Hi, every year I plant a lot of wildflowers and inevitably there are quite a few I can't identify, especially being a novice gardener.
This one has been in flower for a couple of weeks now and has multiple small white flowers about 1cm in diameter, with 5 petals. What is probably helpful in identifying it is that it is branching on long, extremely thin stems, and has two small lanceolate leaves at each branching point.
I've put some arrows into the pic's to show this.

probably a stitchwort or silene or something in that family.
In the sticks near Peterborough
It looks very much like my Gypsophilla Elegans, or is it what we call Mouse Ear? grows in the hedgerows.
