Oh yeah, I see now. I've been seeing it everywhere. Just wish we could figure it out! :)
Choopy
It's not Lobularia maritima, the leaves are completely diffrent
Lily Hunter
Wait... I think we were both wrong! Looking it up on Google Images, and it looks like this flower is more like the Lobularia maritima. Still from the Brassicaceae family, so it might be true.
Lily Hunter
That might be it! I'll look again later, and compare it to Google pictures. Thanks for all the help!
Choopy
I suggested an identification... Arabis glabra is a synonym to Turritis glabra, from the pictures you've put up (the fist one is not that clear) and localization that seems to be it!
Lily Hunter
Looked it up--seems like it might be Brassicaceae Turritis. What do you think?
Choopy
I'm almost 100% sure it's from Brassicaceae family... can't do more than that
