I don't think it's a lily - that was my first thought but compared to a lily I have & the leaves do not have a smooth edge & are less smooth.
Saw a plant called a Solidago that it seems very similar to, but may have to wait for flowers. (Moved into a house with a well stocked garden so trying to educate myself by wandering around garden centres with pictures of unknown plants!)

The first one is a Helleborus foetidus. Very unusual flowers. The other one I'm afraid I don't know although it looks familiar.
Top picture looks like a Helleborus Foetidus, and the second photo could be Helenium.
Could the second one be an Evening Primrose?
Could the second one be a lily?
Could the second one be Michaelmas Daisy?
Agreed, looks like it could be a lily.
No I wouldnt have thought a lily...too much like a shrubby perennial like maybe purple loosestrife or something ?

Hellebore is spot on, thank you.
I keep noticing this round the garden now!
Its in at least 5 spots & a shady spot its reached 5.5ft if that helps ID?
Which plant are you noticing in 5 separate areas? Is it that mystery second photo? I'm now wondering whether it's Coreopsis Tripteris.
