Thanks PucaK
It *is* Dianthus armeria (Deptford Pink)
I think it might be this? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dianthus_a....
Thanks Cammie and Dan...and thanks for letting me know about the leaves! I couldn't get close enough to tease the flower out of the surrounding vegetation and thought they went together! I replaced the photo though and will look into the flowers you mentioned :)
To me it looks a bit like a Carnation or Dianthus. Btw, the leaves you have in the second photo don't belong to this flower, those leaves are from Galium.

Looks like a species of wild phlox! Not sure which one specifically though.
