Need Help Identifying Flowers

Hi, everyone. I need some help in identifying a couple of types of flowers, or maybe they are one type in different colors. I think they are very common, but I just can't remember the name.

Here is one type, the red ones:

And here is the other, the white ones:

Thank you,

Hi Tree Frog
Your mystery flowers are Impatiens, a very common bedding plant.

 

Don't be expecting impatiens this year, though. There is a mildew that is attacking them and not many growers are offering them. If you get some don't be surprised if they quietly whither away.

 

Netty and Carolyn, thank you very much.

Yes, impatiens. I knew they were common, but I just couldn't remember the name. My mother used to plant them out front, along with so many neighbors.

That's too bad about the mildew. I think they're beautiful.

 

You could try New Guinea impatiens, but they aren't quite the same.
