small yellow plant id please!

Hello team

I came across this plant during the summer in Dorset and on the Isle of Wight; they were both planted in gardens that faced straight out to sea. Does anyone know what they are? (the smaller, [paler yellow flower to the right of the tub):

Also, spotted at Stansted House in Hants, this lovely plant. I think it is Galega, which I am growing from seed (but it's still small so can't make an accurate comparison) - can anyone confirm/deny? Many thanks for your help!

    The blue plant is I think Galega.

    When you don't even know who's in the team

    Order, the red one next to the galega is knautia macedonica, very easy from seed and it comes true.

    Devon.
  • Yes, I like that knautia Hosta...I think I've probably got some of that as seed kicking around too. I did try to grow knautia melon pastels but they all got slugged or snailed in the GH over winter (grrr).
