This frequent visitor to my garden is the weedy Broad-leaved Willow Herb (Epilobium montanum).
The small pale pink flowers have a white cross in the centre, which is the stigma.
It soon goes to seed and so spreads to every bit of bare soil.
Its big cousin, the Great Willow Herb (Epilobium hirsutum) also has the white cross in the centre of each flower. We have plenty of these at Filnore Woods.
And there is a big area of Rosebay Willow Herb (Chamerion angustifolium) near post 14 but it is in a different genus and quite different in structure
