Unlike other invasive plants, buddleia isn’t affected by any legislation in the United Kingdom. In Scotland, under the Wildlife and natural Environment (Scotland) Act 2011 it is an offence to cause a non-native plant, such as buddleia, to spread.
Clarice. I've grown both amaryllis and celosia, years ago when I lived in the tropics, but either way, I think you should just grow it to maturity and enjoy it while being conscious that you might need to be quick about collecting seed heads before they spread if it turns out to be something you didn't like. I think you'll be pleased with such a lovely lush leafy plant. It looks healthy.
Clarice - am I right in thinking you live in the South of France? If so, when did you sow the seeds of the first one? I only ask because I have amaranthus that look like that (as pdoc and fidget have said) but they have been flowering for months in not so sunny Surrey. I would expect you to be way ahead of us in terms of flowering, not behind, so I am a little confused
I agree with fidgetbones, the first one is amaranthus caudatus, Commonly known as love lies bleeding. I have lots of these, self sown plants, all at different stages of growth. Some are really forward with long tassels of flowers, some only just starting to show flower like the one in Clarices photograph, and some which are no more than 6" tall. The recent rain has really brought them on, and the wind has kindly flattened some!
Everyone agrees the second photograph is a fuchsia, but I have no idea of the name, sorry, It's a lovely looking plant, so enjoy it.

Think i will be pulling them out in morning.
I don't think you'll have a problem with either of the plants there
Pull them out if you don't like them, leave them in if you do.
There's no buddleia there
In the sticks near Peterborough
The leaves are not right for Celosia imo.
I agree with fb., it is on of the Amaranthus, but without the flower being more developed, I cannot tell which one.
When you don't even know who's in the team
S.Yorkshire/Derbyshire border
