Dog Mountain Trail, Columbia Gorge, WA 5/2013.
At first we thought this was Long Stemmed Starwort (in keeping with our June “star” theme). On second glance we believe this to be chickweed.

This is closely related to Common Chickweed, whose leaves are known to be edible, but we’re not sure if you can eat this.
