I saw the pink and white flowers while walking in a graveyard. They are bush like and some were over 5 foot tall. The little blue flowers are a very short ground cover.

The pink and white flowers look like anemones to me (although mine don't get quite that tall!) and the little purple flowers are vinca, one of my favorite ground covers.

The pink & white are called Windflower, it is indeed an Anemone & they can get a bit out of hand. Lizzie is correct about Vinca.

They're called Japanese anemone over here, they get really tall and don't usually need staking. My mum had them in her garden and us kids used to try jumping over them x

Yes, Japanese anemone. Windflower usually refers to the spring-blooming anemones, which come from bulbs. These are true perennials, and a great way to extend the bloom season in the garden.

The lovely blue one is vinca minor.

This vinca is a variegated one. The plain type has solid green leaves with no white margins. Both have the same blue flower.
