What is it?

I saw these growing all over a lawn on my street and I wouldn't mind them all over my lawn. Any one know what this little lilac flower is?

    More difficult stuck in a pot like that with no leaves but it looks like Cardamine pratensis, cuckoo flower. Wildflower of water meadows. Is it a damp site where you saw these?

    I agree Nut, looks like Cuckoo flower to me too.  They grew all over a meadow to the rear of my former garden which had a river running through it.  Beautiful at this time of year and getting scarce.
