I pulled a small clump of these two plants from a jobsite (with permission) and planted them by my fence. They've come back sixfold this spring!
The lighter-leaved plant gets yellow flowers. It almost looks like some type of poppy?

Ah! White and yellow flowers, not all yellow. Found a photo I took last year, May 25. :)

I haven't a clue, but they are both very pretty, unique green, white leaves.

The pink flowering one at the top is possibly a form of Lamium, the Dead nettle family.
I should know the white flower, but the name escapes me at present.

Ooh. Just looked up dead nettle, sure looks like something in that family. Thanks!

Upon image-googling I don't think Astrantia. The flowers look exactly like anenome, you're right! I couldn't find any images with variegated leaves, though. Maybe something in that family though?

@Larisa ?

I agree with @Owdboggy. :)
Lamium maculatum ( perhaps Elisabeth de Haas)

One of the species Anemona ( sylvestris ? ). A variety for the garden, they have different heights and leaves.

If you don't mind I will take a copy of the pictures and show them to some friends of mine who are more likely to be able to id the plant than I am.

Please do! Next time I go to the garden center I like, I'll track down one of their plant geeks. Can't ask the owner of the property I got them from, as it was an empty house I painted for the Realtor.

For me, the leaves look more like Artemisia vulgaris ( 'Limelight'), which is sold here. It looks like a young plant between which an Anemones grows. :)
I did not see exactly such an Anemones. But I saw plants of this family with mottled leaves. For example,
Ranunculus repens variegatum or certain class Anemonella.
In any case, it will be interesting to know. :)
