a case of mistaken identity

I thought these were dicentra seedlings, now I've no idea, they could be weeds!! :o
the flower is a small, pale pink, primrose type shape..I thought I had a piccy of the flower but it hasn't come out..can you tell what it is from the leaves or something?
thanks :)
by the way, the stems are red

know the vinca, ..it's the pretty feathery plant at the front I don't recognise, is it a cranesbill?..they spontaneously appeared in the garden so I potted them up for the sale :)
sorry, there's two of them

It does look like a hardy Geranium; any idea what it looks like in flower?

very small pale pink flower, shaped a bit like a primrose,you can just see one in the picture ..what I can't understand, they were both growing under the hazel bush, we have no geraniums in the garden..there are two different dicentra there, they even look a bit like one of them but the flower's different..I'll try to get a flower picture tomorrow..I can't sell them unless i know what they are :( :)
also, they're rather a sprawling habit ???

Is it herb Robert?

. Don't worry; it's not a noxious weed in the UK, just a rather pleasant native flower.

If you do find a buyer, let me know 'cause I've got a compost heap full of the stuff !
