I don't remember planting either one of these things..and the way they are growing makes me think they are not weeds but they aren't that attractive so who knows. The top 2 pics are of the same plant and the bottom 2 are of the same as well. Sorry the pics are so crappy.

The second one is Common Fleabane (Erigeron philadelphicus )
or Daisy Fleabane (Erigeron annuus)

The top one sure looks like Aster, in which case you wont have flowering until August and later, not dead sure though. If it is, you'll want to keep it, its beautiful.

Personally I consider the bottom one a weed - I have had it and pull it out, yet I am the same person that considers Feverfew, another daisy-like (color and size) flower to be one that I would want to keep and propogate, and have in my yard. All in the eyes of the beholder.

1st picture is white feverfew, 2nd is white fleabane.
Notice the difference in the 'ray' flowers.
