Garden or wild flowers?

[bendog]

Here are two more flowers that have appeared in my garden. The pink one comes in 2 colours.

The blue one is Meadow Cranesbill and is a native wildflower, though there is a cultivated form. Don't know what the pink flowers are though, so I suspect they are 'garden' flowers.

Cheers,

Adam

The blue one is a cultivated variety of geranium and the pinker one is a cultivated variety of Lychnis

Having looked at other pictures, I think Meadow Cranesbill looks right for the blue ones. This is another of the plants that I have done nothing to produce - they just appear. They are about 3 feet tall. Again, having been given a starting point (many thanks), I think the pink ones are Lychnis coronaria.

You're right the pink flower is Lychnis coronaria or Rose Campion, a common garden plant, that's a frequent casual, sometimes persisting. I saw some in my local country park this morning.
