Q:

Are both of these flowers chrysanthemums?

I was told that both of these plants (they grow as neighbors in the same bed) are chrysanthemums, and that one is an annual and the other is a perennial kind.
Could that be right and if so what are the two specific kinds?
UPDATE A look at this assortment suggests that both plants may indeed be chrysanthemums but I am still interested in an expert opinion.

A:

Looks like both are mums, yes. But to me, it looks like they are both perennials. Look at the leaves. They both have the leaf type of Chrysanthemum x morifolium, which is what perennial garden mums are based on. Look at the edges of this leaf:

There are many kinds of mums, but this leaf with a large/showy flower signifies a plant that was developed from Chrysanthemum x morifolium.
