The first one is a geranium but which one, the second & third flowers were growing out of a very dry wall - is the last picture an aster and if so which one?

the geranium looks like endressii or one of the x oxonianums. Or maybe just a seedling of something.
The one with the red leaves is a persicaria possibly affinis
need some leaves on the white one but might be a poppy
Yes, they're asters

1.Pink Geranium endressii? 2.White Geranium 'Kashmir White'? 3.Polygonum persicaria. 4. Don't know the Asters
my guess is those asters are from mixed annuals and won't have names

geraniums have 5 petals
poppies have 4 but so do a lot of other flowers, need leaves

Could be an alpine poppy?
I reckon Escholtzia for the white one - maybe

Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
Thanks for all your thoughts and identifications so far - I still think that the first may be a geranium and could the white flower be a white Californian poppy - we try to photograph leaves and stems but do forget sometimes as you have noticed! Sorry.
Yes, the orange variety is far more dominant so I will try to segregate the seeds as I collect them.
Won't they have cross-pollinated? Think orange tends to be dominant so seeds from white will probably be mainly orange.

GD you're right that the first is a geranium. The 'endressii' and 'oxonianum' mentioned by Ladybird and me are geraniums. We're were just discussing which one.
and eschscholzia = Californian poppy
