    I think the first is Cichorium intybus, chicory.

    A photo of the whole plant would help for 2. close--ups are fine but don't give a complete picture of the plant.

    Flowers, leaves and overall appearance do the trickimage

    The second photo is a Californian bluebell. Well I'm pretty sure they are anyway.

    Here is a picture the ones in my back garden

    ,

    Ignore the thick green leaves in the background, they are tiger flower leaves. Cali bluebell leaves are really thin and long blade like leaves, each leaf emerges from the soil close to the long flowering stems.

    I think the second one is Triteleia laxa, a bulb

    Second pic is what I know to be brodeaia but its known as something else now.

    I thought the first one was chicory too, but I've never seen so many flowers on such a thick stem.
