I dug this out of my sisters yard. It grows with or without water. Wonderful little pink star shaped flowers on long stems. The leaves are nothing impressive. Probably a weed but I love it.

I'll check out my wildflower book for you tomorrow but as it's almost 2.45am I'm off to bed now as I can hardly keep my eyes open.

Those are really pretty Denee, I thought I knew what they were in the first pic, but the leaves are not the same as the ones that used to grow in my yard.

The nearest I can come to in any of my wildflowers books is that your plant may be a member of the centaury family. Maybe lesser centaury???? The only other plant that looks similar is chickweed willowherb. Sorry Denee but all my books have British wildflowers in them so I'm not really being of much help I'm afraid.
