Hi all - Newbie, let me know if I'm posting inappropriately.

We bought a house in Port Credit, Ontario last October, and all sorts of lovely things have come up in the front garden (full sun). Being new to gardening, and the area, I just let everything come up and see what it looked like. There are a couple of large flowering plants in the front that seem to be taking over, and obscuring some of the others. I'd like to know what they are, and whether they fall in the weed category. I don't mind the look of either, don't really love them either. In the picture, its the white and yellow ones side by each in the front, the white is almost a pale pink, with lots of mini-blooms in a long cluster, about an inch long. The yellow is again mini-cluster of blooms, in a round, rather than long config. I have close ups of both, if anyone is interested. I've already cut them back by half.

Any thoughts or input welcome.

Regards,
Sara
