The flowers in the upper picture are Phlox. Those are wild, but you can buy them for your yard.

Phlox

I use the phone app PlantSnap and it's free! Just take a pic, and it will be identified.

Might look like, but it's not agapanthus.

Thanks for heads up on the wildflowers being phlox.

Garlic. When the landscapers trim them back the whole neighborhood smells like garlic!
