Hi does anyone recognise these flowers? The white one is flowering now the pink just finished and the purple one was flowering back in June... I really like them but need to know what they are to work out if/ how they can be moved or saved during garden work...

Purple one looks like delphinium. Can't help with the others, sorry, but they're rather lovely.

The purple one looks more like Monks' hood to me (it is a poisonous plant, but very spectactular).

The others look like varieties of phlox.

the purple one is monchs hood.
one of the most poisonous plants around.
if you have children I would get rid.
you need to wear gloves handling it, the sap going onto your skin is enough to make you really ill.
