| Plants were not growing in my area; I came across these photos surfing the web and unfortunately there was no information on them included. I've never seen them before, so I'm guessing they may not be hardy to zone 5. Love these unique/vibrant colors, so hoping to figure out what they are in the off chance I may actually be able to grow one/both of them here. Thanks for your help!
Plant #1: Violet/burgundy flower spikes/racemes

| Here is the second photo with plant #2. Thanks again! |
|
| The first looks like Eucomis 'Sparkling Burgundy' or similar. |

| First may be a little color enhanced :-) Looks like Eucomis 'Sparkling Burgundy', aka pineapple lily. The second is an agastache but there are so many with similar coloring it may be hard to nail down specifics. I'd look at 'Summer Sunset', 'Apricot Sunrise' or 'Summer Fiesta'. |

| Thanks so much, ladies! Now if I can just track them down, and of course get them to grow! At least I can stop thumbing through books and start looking through catalogs. :-) Hope you both have a nice evening! |
