Can anyone please identify this pretty little alpine flowering in full sun in the crevice garden in July when most other alpines have finished? Looking at the leaves I wondered if it is a mossy saxifrage?

Leafing through Allan Bloom's Alpine for Your Garden (1980) I came across Frankenia thymifloia (the sea heath) which has a similar form to this plant and is said to flower Jun-Sep. This led me to pink-flowered Frankenia laevis. Please, is anyone familiar with these?

Someone in the Alpine Garden Society has kindly confirmed this is Frankenia laevis.
