Greater Stitchwort (Stellaria holostea) is in flower in many bank bottom, hedge and ditch around me at the moment in both sunny and lightly shaded positions.

Probably one of my favourite wild flowers of all that grow in the UK. The yellow green flower in some of the images is Crosswort (another favourite).

This would ring true as the flowers really are tiny! (3-4mm across). I had to use macro on this one!
