Can someone provide a name for this plant please?

@mikecox

The first one is some kind of penstemon. Not sure of the exact specie, and I don't know what the rest are, but the second one is interesting!

It's not lavender and if you can't be polite then I suggest you find another forum

I think that your second picture is an Echium @mikecox - maybe E. candicans??

The first picture reminded me of the violets that grow here - and seed themselves all over the place, but your flowers appear to be a lot larger. I think they must belong to the violaceae family.

The last picture may be a Saxifraga.

Are these pictures you have found online? Would it be possible to get closer pictures of the leaves?

I saw one like that second one a few days ago! @Larisa named it, maybe Echium fastuosum?

I love this shrub

I saw several specimens near San Francisco Bay. They grow to about 5 feet tall. I love the 'flower', if that is what it is. The flower is about 6-8 inches long. What is the name? I will try to buy one.

Thank you, I didn't believe it was lavender but I did think the response was rude.

I took these shots. I don't believe it's Saxifraga; it's flowers are white and closer to the ground.

Not sure Penstemon is it either based on the picture from the web

This plant is in a fenced in yard that I wouldn't presume to enter without permission, but I will try to zoom in on it tomorrow when I pass by.

I do have an app on my phone called "Plantnet" now it does.

Your right, I Googled candicans and found Echium candicans aka "Pride of Madeira"

 

[mikecox]

I got a closer look at this plant and I tried to find it in my phone app but, while it came up with a lot of options, none seemed to fit.

I really want to get the name of this plant because we recently cleared a place in our landscape and this would be a perfect fit with the other plants in our landscape.

Mike, have a look at the rock purslanes (Calandrinia)...... that's a really helpful photo

 

[mikecox]

Thanks but it doesn't look like the plant in the picture, with those very long stems topped with those purple blossoms. I'm going to take this picture the nursery and see if anyone there can ID it.
