    This was in SW OH in August. I don't remember exactly the size, but it was quite small - perhaps 3/8 or 1/2.

    Thank you!

    The notched petals make me think pink family (Caryophyllaceae).

    I'm far from sure, but maybe it's a starry campion (Silene stellata). Here are some images.

    Yes, forget the pink family. I bow to tipularia. Look at the photos on this page.
