The flowers look a bit like those on  strawberry plants-it's very pretty, whatever it is!

It looks like a wild geranium but the leaves are different. Be interested to know as very pretty.

Could it be Anemone Rivularis?  I've been looking through my RHS Gardeners' Encyclopedia of Plants and Flowers and it's the closest I can get.

Bit thrown by the colour it looks pink in the pic. Though did have pink phacelia tanacetifolia for many years. 

Very pretty but can Bolanders Scorpion Weed can cause dermetitis.
