Flower identification 03-18-08

I posted this picture on 02-25-08 and wondered what it is. I was looking in a wildflower book today and I think it is a Deptford Pink (Dianthus armeria). Not a native, but an import from Deptford in England where it once found in great numbers. It is found all over the USA. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Looks good to me. I initially thought it was Geranium robertianum (Herb Robert) because I thought I saw those needle-shaped seed pods in your picture, but the toothed petals seem like a marker.
