    I love both of these plants and I think maybe the first one is a Balloon Flower.I'm not sure as I did plant some seeds.

    hello glenda,

    i'd say the first one is indeed the
    baloon flower or a variety of it.

    but the second i bet it's an "obedient plant" - Physostegia virginiana.
    We have those around here, mainly with white flowers, but i saw pics of pink or light purple flowers...
    here they are already kinda passing, and the seeds are almost dry.

    happy?

    Calin :)

    Thank you all so much.I didn't have seeds for those Obediant plants so maybe my friend in town gave it to me.
