Lost in the archives and found to be something interesting (not a handicapped Silene colorata!)

I think that it is Silene nocturna

Congratulations - this was not that easy! Why it's called nocturna? Does the flower open by night?

It is said to be a rather common plant but I only met it once (thus the photo)
