Plant ID please!

Hi all, new member here.
I planted up a bed last year with some annual seeds that I *think* were from a packet labelled "cottage garden annuals", possibly from Suttons. I do know that there was Cosmos, poppy, cornflower, Californian poppies, as well as a few others that I don't recognise. One plant in particular that I didn't recognise I really like - please see pic below. Something like a yarrow or wild carrot, but I don't think the leaves match. This is unfortunately the best picture I took of it. If anyone has any idea, it would be most appreciated! Note there are white cosmos and other things nearby, but I think the foliage on this one is single, linear leaves - at least from what I can work out in the picture:



From the same packet of seeds is this pink flower - lots of separate, deep pink flowers on a vertical stem with pink stems and pink fringed leaves. I think I have some volunteers of this coming through and would like to keep. The best I have come up with so far after extensive Google image searching is Clarkia Elegans. Plausible?



thanks so much!

The top photo could be Gypsophila Elegans.

1. Hard to see detail.
Might it be Lychnis coronaria alba???
Doesn't look right for umbellifer.

Thanks for the quick answers! I think you might be on to something with the baby's breath. The plant is tallish (perhaps 2-3 feet) and although the flowers are small and separate, they do give the effect of a large, flat compound flower quite similar (at a distance) to cow parsley, yarrow or wild carrot - but the leaves and branch structure are very much like baby's breath.
