I hope someone can help to determine if this is a weed or not. If it's a flower, I'd love to know the name if possible. Thanks for any help!

I just bought a house in Idaho, and these came with the house. There are several plants in the small flower bed that I've never seen before, and this is the first of two possible weeds that I need an ID on. There is a lot of it growing, here and there, throughout the flower bed, but I haven't seen it growing in other areas.

This is the plant, which appears to grow as a single stem. This one is about 12" tall, but some are a little taller, and some are a little shorter.

Seedling. Sorry for the blurry picture.

Flower bud, which is about 1 inch long from the base to the tip, where it is pink. The flower itself is very tiny, maybe 1/4 inch

Base of plant, which shows the stem where it is red. It's green at the top. Leaves at the bottom are about 2 inches long

The leaves at the bottom of the plant have red on them, but not at the top of the plant

One of the flowers open. It's a very small flower, about 1/4 inch across
