Not sure if these are perennials or not but does anyone know the names of the two plants in the container and the pink one below? Thanks!

The purple flowered one looks to be heliotrope, the gold leafed one, Lysimachia nummularia 'Goldilocks' or golden creeping Jenny. The pink appears to be some form of annual verbena as near as I can tell - more of a summer seasonal display than a perennial one :-)

Gardengal is a pro :)
I just wanted to add that the picture is badly "doctored". Do not expect such acidic (or vibrant if you prefer) colors from real plants.

Thanks guys!

The pink ones look like Pentas or something else to me. Verbena petals are usually less pointy and more overlapping. Verbena foliage is much more serrated at the edges than what little I can see of the foliage in this pic.

The bulbs behind look like Agapanthus.
