Hi John,
Great to see you here again ... your images are truly missed.
Can't help you with this first image, looks like an introduced species or garden escapee?  Did you say that there were two queries?

The white form of Polemonium caeruleum - a garden escape I think.

John, this one looks like Anemone trifolia?

How wonderful that you are back John. I think of you often, especially as the little Narc. bulb. viriditubus flowers (now) and Lilium chalcedonicum. There are others too but the Lilium is especially treasured. I hope you come by frequently. 8)

Thanks very much for the ID and particularly for your kind messages. Quite touched I was.
As you know I gave away all my pot plants rather than see them go downhill (like their owner :'( ;D.) I have however fashioned a trowel on the end of a brush handle and also a hand fork, which used together with a grab I am managing to plant little bits of things and weed.
A good friend of mine, who many of you will know, Keith McMath has died and his widow asked me to sort out his plants. I have started planting them in my sadly neglected rock garden(after revtalising the medium) not the best time but I can water and tend to them and hopefully many will survive. It certainly looks better for the effort.
I will be dibbing in here from time to time to keep my eye on you.
All the best to you all
John
