    Could the second one be evening primrose?  First one looks a bit like some wild fennel we had once, only pinker!  So I don't think it is.  I am rubbish at these threads anyway.  The right answer will be along in a minute!!!!

    I thought that philippa, maybe if Alan has a rub and a sniff he might know, daren't say a taste in case I'm wrong image

    Don't know the second but a nice looking plant Alan. image

    Oh yes, I thought they were an iris in the foreground, but if they go with the plant, then not like the primrose at all.  Also wondered about mullein, but that doesn't look right either in terms of leaves.  I give up.  I am rubbish at these threads!!

    First one looks like fennel to me. Bronze one - the new growth does have that colouration. No idea about the second. Looks like a Phormium at the front of the plant in second pic BB2.

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    The first is bronze fennel

    I think the third pic is Sisyrinchium striatum image
