The first photo is a stonecrop sedum, a hardy ground cover. The second and third photos show bee balms (monardas); the red-flowered one could be one of several varieties. Check at a large nursery and you should see at least one of the varieties there. The magenta-colored flower is also one of several like-colored varieties of Monarda. You should also be able to see monardas with this coloration at a large nursery. All of these plants are hardy and long-blooming and will likely be good additions to your garden. I'm attaching a link discussing various types of monardas.
