Saw this in a stunning garden today but I have no name for it. It was absolutely smothered in butterflies and bees and it was very tall. Anyone know it?

First one is, I think, some sort of Eupatorium, the second is Acidanthera - known as Abyssinian gladioli or peacock orchid (not a real orchid, though).

I think the pink one might be a eupatorium maculatum and the other one is a form of gladioli? Not 100% though! Thanks

Cross post, sorry.

Acidanthera for number 2 I think.
