Spa1275067 on Apr 18, 2015The first is definitely phlox, a lovely old-fashioned heavy bloomer. The second is a daylily. It's blooming time is determined by its variety, vut sometime in the late spring.Helpful Reply

Wendy Aycoth on Apr 18, 2015The first one is Lunaria, commonly known as Money Plant. It is a biennial, meaning it blooms the second year. It can be invasive if left to bloom and seed. The second plant is Grape Hyacinth. It would be helpful to see the top that goes with the roots. I dont believe these are day lilies, too fat.Helpful Reply

Kathleen Conery on Apr 18, 2015Thanks for the suggestions... and I should have mentioned that I'm in zone 7b. I think Wendy nailed it with the lunaria for the pink. With only four petals it's not phlox. And since lunaria is a biennial that would explain why we didn't see it last year. I too thought the other might be a kind of lily, but it didn't bloom last year either... are there biennial lilies maybe? I did know the grape hyacinth, thanks... we have tons of them everywhere... so pretty and smell great!Helpful Reply

Barbara H. on Apr 19, 2015Pink could also be Dame's Rocket (hesperis matronalis). The blue is Grape Hyacinth (muscari) and the unknown is a daylily.Helpful Reply

Ellen H on Apr 19, 2015I'm fairly certain that the second and third pic is a daylily (Hemerocallis). They get fuller as they get older so this one looks to be young, which may be why it did not bloom last year. They may have grown from a portion of a root left when some were removed from that spot.Helpful Reply
