Help me identify plants ?
Hi there ! I am beginning to get my flowerbeds looking presentable
The weeds are making for a lot of maintenance , but many of the plants my grandmother bought are re-emerging and many new wildflowers have invaded which make it more than rewarding enough.
I have discovered several plants that I havent seen before , and I hesitate to destroy them before identifying them first. There are tall ones with grayish green fluffy leaves , then quite a large plant with almost geranium like leaves , and then some small seedlings from a plant my mum claimed at first was tomato , but it doesn't look like the tomatoes I've seen :P .
It is nothing vital , and I know that for the seedlings it may be a long shot, it is just curiosity getting the better of me , if anyone knows then I would be very grateful to you
Thank you !

The greyish fluffy leaves might be a centaura ... a type of cornflower aka Bachtlor’s Buttons. Wait until it flowers, then we’ll know.

I hope they're Cornflowers ! I love those , they'd be very welcome invaders
