    Can't help with pic one, in pic two, the purple flower is aquilegia, aka granny's bonnet.  It self seeds big time, and if pops up somewhere inconvenient you could try transplanting it.  Behind it you appear to have a lilac bush, and those odd yellowish flowers in front on the left are one of the many euphorbia s aka spurge. Handle it with gloves as some of them cause skin irritation. Those three seed heads one the left look to me like the remains of tulips.  In pic three your purple flowers are alliums, closely related to onions.  As they're bulbs, they will come back each year. If you like them you could collect the seed when it ripens to grow more.   

  • In your new set:

    Pic 1 - plants at rear with purple flowers and yellow antlers are a Nightshade species. 

    Pic 2 - bottom right, possibly imageimageCampanula persicifolia or Penstemons

    Pic 3 - plants from 12 o'clock to 3 o'clock from Aliums -hard to ID without flowers as so many wild flowers have similar foliage. Under them are some Hardy Geraniums.

    Pic 4 - looks like Phlox with a few Sedums
