Calling all gardeners: Flower identification

Can anyone tell me what the names of these two flowers? I am the worst with plant/flower names and these are perennials that were planted by the last person who lived here. They are growing in small clusters very low to the ground.

Thanks!

I'm not sure about the one on the left, but the one on the right looks like primroses.

I don´t to know but Certainly are sooo beautifuls!... ...

Now that I look again, the one on the left may be creeping phlox.

Very pretty!, I love the one on the left

I thought the one on the left perhaps might be labela, but not sure.

I agree that the right one is Primrose... but the one on the left I'm not sure about. I think creeping phlox is close but no cigar.

The right ones are Primroses, and the left ones look like Forget-me-nots

Thanks everyone for your gardening knowledge!

Forget-me-nots and Primroses seem to be correct. You just saved me from spending too much time doing google image searches on these flowers. I also checked out the phlox and they also look like a great ground cover. I'll have to go to the gardening centre to check them out.

Thanks again!

Another vote for forget- me -nots and Primrose. I have some primrose just like that.

I have a border bed that is about 4ftx2ft I'm putting Cupid's Darts at the back and Forget-me-nots in the front.

It's going to be my 'blue' border

They are forget me not sand primroses. I don't recommend "creepy phlox" as after it is done blooming in 2-3 weeks you have this green ugly mat!!!! However woodland phlox (I can get you "correct name") are better but they need shade!!
For a "blue border": Veronica "sunny border blue", gentian and blue butterfly dwarf delphinium and flax (linum perenne)

I'll stop now!!

Oh...those are both Nasturtiums.....


Sorry - family joke - my mother loves to garden and knows every flower on the face of this earth, my dad on the other hand knows none (and neither do I). So everytime anyone asks what type of flower something is my dad says it's a Nasturtium.....they're all Nasturtiums.....
So - they are both Nasturtiums of course.

As you are the expert I have written down those flowers names.
What type of sun do they do best in and are they drought hardy?
We get triple digit temps and unless you simply leave the sprinklers on, the ground dries to dust pretty quickly here.

Well I have some pretty sandy soil here in WI and the "flax" LOVE IT!!!! It self seeds too!! A couple of years ago I received a garden catalog that was specific to your region of the country-why can' t I remember the name???? The other too esp gentian does pretty good in poorer soil too. You won't find a "bluer" flower. If I think of the perennial catalog I'll let you know as they have really good stuff and good advice!!!

I believe your thinking of "High Country Gardens" There plants are specifically for Xeriscape areas.Hot and dry. Type in High Country Gardens in a search and you will get there web site. You can get a free catalog.It will give you some good ideas for plants that will do well for you climate.

Ooh thank you very much!

Can I ask your help one more time? Can you identify this flower? These flowers grow quite high and large and are very vibrant in colour. They also do well in full sun. This was in my mom's garden but she can't remember the name. I adjusted the picture below to reflect the true colour.

Thanks...you guys are the best!
