    Hi all,

    First time posting. Found this plant in the Mojave Desert (about 1 hour north-east of Las Vegas), near the drainage area of a culvert. Could be an escaped cultivar, as I haven't seen this before (have lived in Las Vegas for 2+ years). Anyways, any help (Family) would be appreciated. Was thinking Caryophyllaceae??

    Thanks!!

    Appears to be Anagallis arvensis.
