  The first looks like a gaura.
  
  The second is Persicaria maculosa (aka Redshank)  … a common weed of agricultural and newly disturbed land. Related to some very garden-worthy plants … but this one’s best pulled up before it seeds. 
  

  
  Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

  I agree, I love that pink guara seems we have to call it Oenothera lindheimeri now. 
  What’s with all the name changes? 

  Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.

  I agree too with those IDs.
  It's the new names for Dicentra and Sedum spectabile that get me @Lyn. Murder!

  It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
  
  
  
  I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

  I agree with them. The first plant is gaura and The second is Persicaria maculosa. and I must say the pink gaura looks very beautiful.
