Hello!
Was wondering if there are any botanists, avid gardeners around to identify either of these for me:

I'm not a botanist but the second one looks like some kind of fern. It kinda reminds me of fiddleheads not exactly but it resembles it :P

Oh and the first one looks like a wind flower... or: Anemone blanda.
 
Many thanks.
I looked up ferns and it appears you are correct. I think your suggestion that the other is a windflower is also correct.
Many thanks!
