Another mystery weed...

growing in someone's lawn. It's been very dry this month, so nobody is mowing the grass. All kinds of wildflowers are showing up in the lawn.

What a lovely flower (I wouldn't call this a 'weed')

That one is pretty enough to plant on purpose. Love this shot.

Very cool flower! Would be very interested to know what it is!

This is Silene latifolia. It is very popular with us in the meadows. Pets love it. Once upon a time, the root was especially used in folk medicine.
