Plant ID please!

Nikitaloring

Hello! 
First post here! 

New to gardening and in my second year of having a garden so knowledge is very limited and hoping someone may be able to ID these two plants for me?
Thanking in advance!
Hope everyone had a sunny day in the garden.

Hi @Nikitaloring, welcome to the forum  . Don't know what the first one is, but the second looks like a type of bamboo.

The top photo looks like a Phormium Tenax.

I would agree with phormium for the first and bamboo for the second.

Hi.
First post here also.

Could someone identify this please?

I ask because recently, I've been standing in my garden and assuming someone in a nearby garden has been smoking cannabis. Yesterday I  realised it's this plant!

I bought and planted the bulb last summer, but didn't note the name.

ItsI just under 2ft tall in this pics.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Tommy

Looks like a Crown Imperial Fritillary to me. Didn't realise they smelt of dope!

Thanks DampGardenMan. Think you've nailed it. 

Well worth in the £3 I paid👃👃

I always think they smell of fox pee.

It’s one of those plants like marmite you either like it or not, I don’t find it offensive I quite like the smell.
it is supposed to be a mole deterant I quess because it’s the roots of the plant that gives off the smell.

I agree Lyn ... but smell can be quite subjective I suppose ...
