Unidentified Plant

The link below shows some lovely hanging baskets in Montpellier, France.

Can anyone identify the light green tri-partite leaved plants hanging below each of the two baskets? Montpellier has many fabulous hanging baskets like these, most of which contain this plant.

I'd also be interested to identify the (barely discernible) purple leaved plant hanging in the shaded area immediately beneath the right-hand basket, above the green leaved plant.

Many thanks
Peter

May be a cultivar of Common Ivy, but the pic isn't quite clear enough to tell for certain.

I have found a plant in my yard with dark green leaves, its small or medium sized. It blooms with a tiny white flower in the spring, which eventually changes to orange balls about the size of a quarter in the late summer. The plant grows to apoximately 2 ft. tall. All that i know is it is a perinnial and seems to prefer shade.

Some species of Physalis, maybe?
