Do you know what kind of flowers these are? Both of purple flowers and the white flowers. Thank you!!!
My sincerest apologies for the cheesy fading pictures. I couldn't find a better place to post the images. I think Yahoo should put a place to upload pictures when you ask questions...

What kind of flowers are these?
A shot of the leaves would really help identify both of these flowers.
I think the purple flowers are Dames Rocket (Hesperis matronalis L.). Someone else suggested Garden Phlox, but the stamens in Phlox are not yellow/green.
The white flowers looks a bit like a snapdragon. Without seeing the back of the flower, and the size of the flower it's hard to tell.
Reply:The purple one looks just like Erysimum 'Bowles Mauve' (wallflower) to me:

The white one looks like Nemesia fruticans (a white form) or a new hybrid Nemesia, it's a little hard to tell from the picture but I'm pretty certain:

Hope this helps.
EDIT: I agree with sailinshoes, it's hard to identify for certain without seeing the leaves. Hesperis and Snapdragon are good calls too.
I still do think that the purple one is Erysimum and not Hesperis because of 2 things: 1) Erysimum flowers up the stalk and once the flowers are spent, they drop and leave the tiny stem as is evident in your photo, 2) Erysimum has a yellow center and Hesperis does not.
In regards to the white one, I did ponder snapdragon (Antirrhinum majus) too-which it could very well be. I went with Nemesia because in the photo it looks like the flowers are more clustered and that is reminiscent of Nemesia. Snapdragons flower on a stalk.
Again, this is just my opinion. Seeing the foliage, more of the flower and measurement of the flower would help a lot. At any rate, you have some good answers to investigate further.

but if it's not some sort of a geranium mix. Best too look it up in an Encylopedia of Flowers.
