    I took these photos in my backyard (which is in the Atlanta, Georgia area). I would be very obliged if anyone can tell me what these plants are. I've searched with Google and learned the names of several other weeds I've wondered about, but not these. It's hard to tell in the photos, but the flowers are lavender in color.

    And here's one more I'd like to identify; my yard is full of it too.

    Thank you very much in advance!

    The first one might be henbit (check for square stems) and the second I would say Wild Geranium (Carolina geranium).

    Just my thoughts...

    Might be Salvia lyrata and Geranium Sp.
