ID these 2 plants

[Official Gardener]

Can you please id these 2 plants? I am not sure if the 2nd one has dropped it's petals or it blooms in this way but it was in this condition when I bought it from the nursery. Strangely, the guy at the nursery was not sure but he thinks it is a Dianthus.

The first plant is a Garden Zinnia (Zinnia elegans or hybrid) in the Sunflower Tribe (Heliantheae) of the Daisy Family (Asteraceae).

The second plant is indeed a Pink (Dianthus hybrid) in the Pink Family (Caryophyllaceae).
The flower in the picture has lost some petals. Normally Pinks wil l have five petals, unless they are a double form.
