    Red Valerian for the first one

    Fritillaria pudica (Yellow Fritillary) second one

    The second ones are hoop petticoat daffodils - Narcissus bulbocodium.

    Neither of them are wild flowers, though the valerian naturalises on walls and is a nuisance in parts of the Burren. I have had great difficulty getting the daffodils to survive in my garden, so rather envy the person who grew those (and the aconites whose leaves are behind them).
