Could someone identify these please?

Hello Everyone,
First time poster and extreme noobie gardener. I've got these two plants growing in a border and in a pot in my garden and I have no idea what they are.

Could someone please help me identify them?

Thanking you all kindly

Welcome!
Where do you live? State or USDA growing zone.
I don't know, but the potted one looks about to flower.

Welcome to the group. I don't know the name of the plant but I do think I have seen it. When the bud opens we maybe able to tell more.

Aye, the potted one does look about to flower and it has for about 6 weeks
They are both driving me mad, I planted a load of different fruit and veg seeds in pots last year from melon seeds to pepper seeds and would love to know if it's one those or if it's just some mad weed I haven't seen before.
It'll certainly teach me to label my pots

Labeling is so important. I keep doing cuttings with the propagating stuff and I'm sure I'll remember what they are if I don't label but I don't. I've actually done it again today. Tomorrow morning first thing going to label my purple salvia cuttings.. I originally got it from my 80 year old neighbor who has moved away so it really is important....Ally's Purple Salvia... We spent a lot of time chatting over the fence and Ally loved any bark which came down with the wind. I loved that and now have a lot of bark to contend with. I'd just toss it over the fence and low and behold I'd have a tidy yard. Inspiring neighbor. If I find the garden a bit overwhelming at times I think of Ally at 80 on her ride on mower and I know I can keep on gardening.

I have quite a few flowering and pretty "weeds" that I let grow wild in parts of my side yard. Anything with abundant seed heads, flowers, or just interesting foliage - for the pollinators, the birds and because I think they're pretty. And as anyone seeing my yard would attest, I don't go for the carefully manicured look! I like that there's an abundance of native flora around me. The guy who mows my property grumbles a bit because I put little markers next to the things I want him to mow around. The back part of the side yard is a tangle of blackberry and raspberry bushes, giant burdock, phlox, datura, some wild orchids and other things I have yet to identify. And along one side there are masses of small wood lilies.

I've found this site very useful in indentifying native plants:

Maybe you can find something similar for your area of the UK?

Ooh, the potted one is finally starting to flower. Little yellow flowers are just popping out. It looks suspiciously like a "Yellow Herald Foxglove"
I'll post some pics once it's fully flowered...
