I'm pretty sure the 2nd picture is borage - flowers are edible and taste a bit like cucumber. You can decorate a Pimms and lemonade with the flowers. Lots of ice in mine please...
The first one appears to be from the mallow / lavatera family but I'm not sure beyond that.😎

Yes!! The borage goes mad. Mine gets to about 4ft then keels over in wind or (distant memory!) rain. Leaves are very prickly

The pink one, as has been said is a malva, I think may be a malva sylvestris, something like 'Mystic Merlin' possibly - seems quite a common one. The borage - the flowers are nice in a herby salad as well as in Pimms

Borage- great for freezing the flowers into ice cubes - has a cucumber taste
Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
