I don't think this a Cakile sp. My understanding is that they are mostly coastal plants and given the inferior ovary it seems unlikely to be in the Brassicaceae. I would suggest an Epilobium sp. in the Onagraceae family, but the the lack of cleft petals puts doubt in my mind.

Thanks Angel, I've been seeing these little beauties for years, but never knew what they were.
