    I've just received two photos. Same type of plant but one is pink and the other is white.

    I don't know but google thinks it might be:
    Spergularia Species, Red Sandspurry
    Spergularia rubra

    Think we would need a more in focus photo of the flowers and leaves.

      From the second photo it's not what I thought, the stamens are not exposed.
