Hey, there-

The pink flower looks a lot like purple loostrife, which can be dark or light purple to pink. It's a garden plant that has become an invasive species in swampy areas.

I'm not sure what the blue berries are.

The white flower looks like Queen Anne's lace, a common roadside wildflower. But there are many white flowers that look like this, so you'd have to take a look at the leaves and stems to be sure.

The white striped plant is called hosta. It's a very common shade garden plant.

You might get more answers if you could list the climate where you live, and the environment around each plant (swampy, dry, hilltop, etc.). You might also try a field guide to flowers and plants. Good luck! TheSPY 15:07, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

I have also contacted someone that makes a hobby of raising plants; here's what she has to say:

The second one is a Blueberry Bush, the second is Queen Ann's Lace or wild carrot, the first is the most difficult to identify it might be Lupine or Loosestrife the former rather than the latter is a better chice. The last is definately Hosta. - Pureblade | ^Θ 02:05, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
