Thanks to all who helped me out identifying my last plant. I have 2 more
that I could use some hints on:

This is a shrub about 6 feet tall, and quite spindly (perhaps because it's
being crowded out by another bush). The dried flower/seed head is from last
year, and it's just starting to bud out this spring...quite late compared to
everything else in my yard.

This is a perennial that is about 2 feet tall, also not very full. I think
this is because it gets almost no sun. Flowers are nice, but I only get 3-4
on this plant.

Thanks in advance.
