Default identify these flowers

I saw these flowers a couple of days ago in the Dean Garnier gardens
next to Winchester cathedral. Please can someone help me identify them
and if you can provide a url reference about them that is even better..

The first one looks a bit like Star of Bethlehem - but the front of the
petals is slightly yellow and the back tinged with pink.

Could be a species Freesia, perhaps.

The second looks a bit like the Cosmos family, but I can find a picture
of a Cosmos that looks like it.

Pulsatilla seems likely and perhaps P. montana?

I don't know where those capital letters "JPG" crept in so watch out if
you type it. Thanks in advance.


The program you use to upload photos puts them in automatically.
