I live in Oakland, CA, and these "mystery flowers" appeared in my deck garden. I'm including links to pics for easier identification. The first flower started out with white petals, but now they're turning a fuschia color. The second flower now has a white star-shaped five petal design with a yellow center. Does anyone know what these are?

The first photo actually shows two different mystery plants. The chamomile-like flowers are in the forefront, and there's another mystery vine-like plant in the background.

This guy will tell you...
go to his web site: I'm sorry I forget the site, but I know how to get there:
Head to iBtraveling.com and scroll down to find on the left hand side it states something like "Free plant tips" and click on his link. You can email him and he'll probably know.
By the way, I've signed up for his newsletter and have found lots of garden tips. He has great ideas and thoughts too.
Wish you luck!

the picture is too distant to be sure. The purple leafed plant could be anything from a bishop form dahlia to a cimifuga. the green rounded leafed plant almost looks like a ground covering azalea or the common portulaca weed plant. like I said it's difficult to tell from the pictures. sorry

Can't ID the first photo. It isn't chammomile. second looks very much like a Bishop Llewelen dahlia, dark foliage, deep red flower. If you don't want it I'll send you a SASE and you can mail it to me!! Contact my avatar.
