Cardamine hirsuta
Edible as a bitter herb. It flowers from quite early in the Spring until the Autumn. The small white flowers are borne in a corymb on wiry green stems, soon followed by the seeds and often continuing to flower as the first seeds ripen.
Europe and Asia; damp, recently disturbed soil

Welcome.. Lars... I assumed on flower structure.. I did not have time for verify genus.. as I have limited access on net... :(
Yea, thanks to you too, Ashish...but Brassicaceae was just a little too wide ranged ;)
My guess was right...

Thanks a lot for the direction, missjellyfishy - found the exact one with it.
Cardamine sp.
Look like one of Brassicaceae....
added pic of the blossom
yes, the radial symmetry caught actually my eye, Emma
Every stem has an opposite leaf arrangement with a terminal leaflet. Stems are are arranged radially.interesting and pretty arrangement.
