ooh ooh ooooh! (Anagallis Arvensis)

I LOVE finding new plants, and this little beauty peeked out at me while harvesting St. Johnswort blossoms. I thought it was a chickweed, but upon further examination, I think it might actually be a more uncommon (at least here) species of St. Johnswort ............

*update* from Henriette in the comments ... A Scarlet Pimpernel! Wow! Thanks Henriette!

So pretty!
Lots of little black spots on the underside of the leaves......
Botanical.com has an interesting profile on this plant.
