Green Stitchwort, Stellaria holostra - Some other English common names Addersmeat, Easter Bell, or Greater Stitchwort according to what I've read. Not native to my area & knowing very little about this plant, you can read some about it here: Flora of North America.
The flower was dedicated to St Peter Gonzales according to the Floral Directory. Also known as St Elmo & St Telmo, his feast day is actually on April 14 and was never formally canonized as a saint.
