OK, the 2nd one is called
Five Spot "
Nemophila maculata" native to California... and the 1st one is probably
Baby Blue Eyes "
Nemophila insignis" also native to California. The flower color is darker/streaked with darker colors in the catalog but is described as "sky blue flowers" (I *almost* had this one -- kept thinking "Blue Eyed Grass" which it isn't and which is what *I* have... couldn't remember its real name). The 2nd one, I kept thinking "
TEXAS Five Spot" which it obviously isn't, and when I counted the spots in your photo, it seemed like there were more than 5? Too bleary eyed, maybe?
-- Ha! I must've been thinking of the dance "
Texas Two-Step" last night
Cynthia, flax has similar flowers, but is much taller, and -- sorry nes
-- I think the weeds surrounding it is confounding the foliage ID. If you magnify the photo as much as you can, you'll see that this one has sort of yarrow-like leaves, not short grassy/spikey alternating leaves.
Don't worry nes, my garden isn't much better. Though I must say, I'm dying to reach in the screen and pull out the Galinsoga (the weed with tiny daisy-like flowers), my perpetual nemesis.
(I know, I need to do a little weeding 
).
