    Shoot shoot shoot. I had #4 in my garden but I've forgotten the name. It's in the Liliaceae or Iridaceae, I can't immediately recall which....

    My first though is Quamash, but your distribution is wrong for that.

    Anthericum spp or cultivar, perhaps?

    other possibilities include Orthrosanthus and Tulbaghea. Smell will help tell you - Tulbaghea has a garlic or onion odour when rubbed.

    And the more I look at it the more I suspect it's Tulbaghea violacea - Society Garlic.

    The 2nd one looks like Iberis sempervirens (Candytuft) to me.
