Weed or wanted??? Little pink-white flowers

This popped up not too long ago. It's not too showy but I'm wondering what it could be. Any ideas?

Epilobium ciliatum, willowherb, one of the fireweeds. They pull easily enough, but let that one go to seed and you'll get plenty of practice ;)

I see quite a few different plants in your photo. Would you specify which plant, and maybe post a clearer photo of the plant in question?

I'd like to know what the ground cover growing in the background is. I have that in my flowerbeds and I really like it, but don't know what it is. My apologies, I don't mean to hijack your thread. :)
