Hello,
We live in Ottawa Canada and we have a couple plants in our yard that
my wife feels are flowers, while I think that they are simply good
looking weeds :-) If anyone could help identify them we would
appreciate it very much. Hopefully the links below will provide
images.

The second photo (I'm not sure it is the same as the first or not) is
Henbit. Highly invasive plant that was introduced as ground cover
originally because it covers ground -- FAST. Whether it is a weed or not
depends on whether you like it or not. Personally, I've spent many hours
this spring removing it from herb beds and I consider it a weed but it
can sure look pretty if there's nothing else there.
