Chickweeds (2)
Many of the members of the Pink family have small, white flowers with 5 petals and 10 stamens. They fall into three groups by common name, the Sandworts (Arenarias, Eremogones, Minuartias & Moehringias), Starworts (Stellarias) and Chickweeds (Cerastiums). So if you don't see your flower here, try one of the other groups.
