any idea what these are

My dad was given some plants about a year ago on his birthday, a couple of them we don't know what they are .
So I am hoping someone with more knowledge than me (would not be hard :-) can tell us what they are.

Hi there amg. The first is a Caryopteris, a small shrub with lovely blue flowers at this time of year. Prune in Spring to keep it compact and flowering well.

The second is Lychnis coronaria, a short lived perennial but very easy from seed. It will also seed itself around as well.

 

Now that's what I call quick!
Thanks very much for identifying them for me.
Just phoned my dad and told him what you said, and he is making up labels for them both.
