My daughter is sorting out her new garden and has asked me what these are (not sure why, just wish she would grow veg!) I am thinking maybe Michaelmas Daisy for No:1 and possibly a type of Campanula for No:2 although bit thrown by the coloured veins in the leaves.

But I know you will know so please, any ideas?

    The first one looks possibly like phlox, and the second viola odorata  :)

    Number 1 looks a lot like my phlox paniculata, but at this stage, so do several other plants. The second one is a pretty but wicked little violet that spreads everywhere.

    Thank you @AnniD and @Posy really grateful since I was nil for two. I will pass that on with suitable credit!
