Can anyone ID these?

The previous owner planted these in our shade garden, and I have no idea what they are.

Can someone help? Lots of thanks.

first two are geramiums. 3rd one might be a buttercup.
keep sendinf pictures as the plants mature/flower.
i clicked onto your photo bucket site and plant #6 you have in your slide show is not a vibrunum, its fothergillia (check my spelling)

Do geraniums come in ground cover? The second plant has stamens in the flower so I don't think that's one.

I know the viburnum is not one - it was sold as one but obviously, the person was wrong.

I believe the fourth one is a sprengerli fern. Check this website: http://www.florida-agriculture.com/consumers/sprengerli

I think the second one is a geranium also, and possibly the first one too.

Could the last one be an astilbe? I'm having trouble making out the photo.

thanks for the ID's. The last one is an astilbe - I saw one at the nursery.

Never knew geraniums came as ground cover, but I do now.

Thanks again.

Hardy perennial geraniums do grow as ground covers.

The first one is Geranium sanguinum Striatum. The next one might be Geranium macrorrhizum. See if it has a strong smell kind of like a Christmas tree or conifer. The third and last could be Astilbes, you can tell if they bloom.
