Might flower #2 be some kind of phlox? i don't know either.

I am enjoying the flower show, especially the iris and the clematis.

Here are a few of mine currently. I think the deep red peony may be John Harvard, and the peach one is Misaka, an ITOH. I am happy to report that the Colossus Oyama magnolia was a big risk last year, and it seems to be doing well enough to have several fat blossoms. Another view of the hill with alliums in full swing, and finally some newer blooms on the bicolored iris.
