  Dunno what the white one is, but I have a hunch it begins with t. Could the pink one be a phlox?

  I wonder if your white one is the same as the seedling someone is trying to get identified in another thread.

  In London. Keen but lazy.

  Yes, l think the pink one is a creeping phlox, phlox subulata.
  White one could be a type of anemone?

  Thanks, super speedy replies! Looking at your suggestions, they appear to be Phlox GoldPhlox Rose and Anemone multifida White.

  I went through some labels to try and find these. I have a label for "phlox paniculata Peacock White" and "saponaria ocymoides" neither of which I appear to have...maybe they died...

  I also have a label for saxifrage x arendii Limerock with similar white flowers but I guess that has also died! Likewise with a penstemon...

  Not a good start to my gardening life.

  Would the phlox be good in a rock garden? I have some arenaria montana, armeria maritima which are in the front of a border but they just get drowned out with other perrenials. I have plenty of random rocks and stones excavated from the clay soil so I could, in theory, attempt a rockery. Just don't want to shove those plants in between the rocks and have them die...

  I think the phlox would be fine in a rock garden, there are other colours available as well
