    I found this plant growing at the edge of a section of bush near Fort St. John, BC, on June 20, 2015. It is about 18 inches tall, with a cluster of seven or eight tiny, pale pink, five-petalled blossoms at the top. The leaves are long and narrow, and grow at right angles from each other in an alternating pattern. So far I have not found the plant in my wildflower books nor on the internet, and would really appreciate help identifying it.
