    I am rather new to identifying plants. Is this Linum trigynum?

    I have identified it as Lapsana communes, or Nipplewort. The key was getting a good look at the structure of the flower.

    Sorry, L communis. Blasted autocorrect.

    Certainly looks like Lapsana communalis. Linum trigynum doesn't have a diasy head and has blueish flowers

    Thanks Mike. Once I sorted out a decent view of the flower then things started to fall into place.
