The first one is groundsel - don't feed.
I don't recognize the second one.

#1 looks like it should be ok, #2 maybe some really pretty flower that reseeded itself from previous season but can't tell what it is. Let's wait for the Experts to chime in

Ahhhh! I thought that one looked different! Thanks Yvonne! This is the one with the hepatotoxic alkaloid in it, right? The one that's known to kill horses and cattle?
