Can't anyone identify these plants?

I think they might be perennials I planted last year but I can't remember.

First picture looks like a foxglove, second possibly phlox

Agree that the first one looks like foxglove :-)

Thank you, phlox rings a bell although I really don't remember planting foxglove.😀

It’s the sort of thing that may well have self seeded either from a neighbour or wild foxgloves: count it as a bonus plant I’d say ;-)
