    Could anyone help me figure out what flower this is. Unfortunately the sample wilted quite a bit but possibly it can still be identified.

    Silene dioica, perhaps.

    I Googled that Silene but the flower is different. The flower looks like a tiny fuschia flower or corydalis. Does that help much?

    It was purchased at a local nursery/food market.
