This seems like it should be easy to identify, but I don't know it...



And can anyone confirm...is this "smartweed"?:

That first one has to be a Geranium of some kind.

The second one may be Persicaria pensylvanica (Pennsylvania Smartweed): Pennsylvania Smartweed (Persicaria pensylvanica)

The first one reminds me to the annual baby's breath, Gypsophila elegans. agree with other for the second plant.

I actually have baby's breath in that pot,maybe you are seeing leaves from that in the picture? I am pretty certain that the white-flowered weed in the foreground is not baby's breath, though; it is quite different from the baby's breath that is present....far larger blooms, different shape, and with some coloring in the middle of the bloom.

This is a close up of Tofi's suggestion of Gypsophila elegans:

Can you show a sideways picture of your plant if that's not it, so we can see the whole thing?

There are other species of Gypsophila. That is what came to mind for me for the first one.

Ahhh.....now I see what you guys mean. I think you are onto something with the gypsophila! Here are some more pictures. If it is a Gypsophila, it makes me want to collect seeds, weed or not! It's pretty, and it's Gypsophila (we think!)...

(The description for smartweed scares me, so I will probably quash that plant before it goes to seed, even though it is very attractive, in my opinion.)







Here is a picture of nearby baby's breath....cousins in the same pot, perhaps?



Edited to add: I misspoke about the neighbor flower's identity....it is sweet alyssum. My brain just doesn't work lately. They do say that sweets addle the brain and give you 'brain fog'...perhaps I can blame the plant! LoL

I agree, about both.

The other plant looks like this one, "sweet" Alyssum:
Sweet Alyssum (Lobularia maritima)

IDK where the "sweet" comes from. The smell of these blooms is repugnant to me.

I agree with Tiffany, the other plant is Alyssum.

Tiffany, no question about the sweet alyssum, my fault on the mix-labeling on that. I am not sure why I called it baby's breath except that my brain doesn't function anymore, apparently. I bought that sweet alyssum from seed a few years ago and it occasionally pops up in weird places. I have a love/hate relationship with its fragrance. Some days I think it smells delicious and beautiful, but other days it is so fragrant that it smells like I am drowning in a pool of honey and it is overwhelming.

LOL! Your nose is lucky. I've only ever smelled something revolting!

I say the wrong thing a lot more often than I used to. Really, it's amazing that my battered, well-worn memory cells can still do anything I need.
