Yep, I agree on the wild geranium. I have some as well. I've never seen the other one before, so gardencrazy is probably right.

I didn't know geraniums were perennials.
Duh
Now that I think about it - aren't they called "hardy geraniums"? :/
Thanks!

These are bachelor's buttons? Coneflower - did you mean cornflower?
The wild geranium - will that only bloom one time? They are done now, if I pinch back, will it bloom again?

wonderful.......My first color to bloom is the Orangish yellow.. They are always first......then the others follow......
I was suprised the little fellows bloomed ahead of mom plants.
Now your on your way with them......One of the easiest to grow.
Love to see the photos.

it should,If I have the right plant in mind--My MIL always puts 1 or 2 of the plants out in pots---she just pinches back the old blooms & new ones come.

I have the second one in my garden, but I thought it was called "lambs ears" the leaves are soft and fuzzy, and they self-spread like crazy!
