Unknown ground cover. Does anyone recognize it?

This is the groundcover..

We got it a few years ago, because we couldn't find any creeping phlox at the time. But this thing has really taken off, and when it's blooming it looks great.. it doesn't look so great at other times. ;) This year, the white flowers were present, but it also started having pink flowers. At any rate, we can't remember what it was called, or find it anywhere.

Can anyone help?

Oh, and just in case my image doesn't show up, the link is here http://www.paigelynn.org/gallery/Flowers2004/IMG_3559. You can also view a bigger version at this link by clicking on the picture. Sorry about the fence! It's the only picture I can find. :)

Thank you in advance!

After looking at the galleryphoto and enlarging it, I believe it's a Dianthus, or Pink (which could be why it's reverting to pink flowers!)

I agree! I think it's probably Dianthus deltoides, Maiden Pinks. Here's a link to a bunch of pictures of D.d. The fourth row down has a picture of a white one.

Thank you guys. I really don't remember the name from when we bought them, but they do look pretty similar. Unfortunately they aren't blooming now so I can't go and compare real easily. ;) I can't figure out why I didn't take pics this year, they really took off. Ahh well. :) Thanks again. :)
