Though I thought THAT one was likely something common, the following one I
suspect will be hard to recognize, so perhaps I'll be wrong again &
everyone will know what it is. Lucky me if so:

It's an Erodium. I don't know the species

Thanks much! Just looked up which would be the most common weed of that
genus here, & it's Erodium cicutarium. Checked some pictures of it, &
that's the critter. Not common in our damp area, but elsewhere in the
state, in prairie grasslands & grazing lands, extremely common. Invasive &
harmful in some places, but I still kind of like it in the flower pot.
