I need a few IDs here, please help me.

Hello everyone! I'm new to the site and I have a few flowers/plants I'm not sure what they are or anything about them. I hope some one can help me.

The 1st flower is something I planted...last spring. The seeds never did anything and I kind of just planted with out even knowing what I was doing (I'm doing better this year) and now they have came up and are doing great. I have pink and white clusters but I know nothing about them any info would be great!

The second pic. is something I found on the back side of my house.... its kind of scary but neat at the same time. I'm pretty sure its wild.

The third pic is of something the people who lived here before us planted (so we think) I pulled them up last year but surprise! they are back. I have never seen them flower. Again any info will be greatly appreciated.

the top one looks like a sweet william or dianthus of some kind.
the second I don't know the name it is a "sticker" pull it..carefully the roots have stickers too. if you let it grow it will make round green fruit.
third one looks like silk weed to me.

I just saw this thread...

The second flower is "Silverleaf Nightshade" - Solanum eleagnifolia in the Solanaceae, Nightshade/Potato Family

hii I just wanted to make a comment, and you may or may not know this, but the green fruits on the nightshade are toxic, so you should be carefull if you have young children, or pets

I don't think so re the Solomon's seal. It does have paired horizontal leaves like that, but the stems don't stand up straight like that, they arch over.
