    Tall one looks like a gladioli. Would need to see flower to be sure.
    Yellow one is a dahlia.

    Picture This is an excellent app. 19.99 per year but identifies all plants, trees, weeds etc and how to treat them. I find myself going around photographing every plant i see :D

    Google Lens is also another option and is free. Just take a photo as normal, go into your google photos on phone tap the lens icon. It will bring up information of what it is.

    Just used the app on it. It's a bush lily. Native to South Africa and Swaziland and can be grown as a houseplant. It prefers shade and can tolerate a min temp of 10 degrees C. :D

    I let the wildflower patch overgrow this year and only mowed it a few weeks ago.
    One plant type has taken over since and it is very busy with native bees.
    I think it's Winter Cress?
