    Second one looks like it's a self seeding Annual:

      First is Weigela and as Zig says, the other is a nice double Aquilegia.

        Brilliant, thanks folks. :)

        As an aside, what is the best method of propagating both of them? Can cuttings be taken from the Weigela?

        Presumably the Aquillegia can only be spread from seed?

          Weigela is fairly easy from cuttings. Aquilegias self seed all over the place.

          Your have a lovely mixture of aquilegia in a few years I'm sure, if you want a bit more variety just pick up a cheap packet of mixed colour seed and sprinkle it about and within a couple of years your probably have lots of multicoloured doubles as well :)

          Not being funny, but I assume you have taken cuttings from them before?
