yes the first two seem to be Antirhinum majus. engl. Common Snapdragon, german Löwenmaul. Engl wiki says The common name "snapdragon", originates from the flowers reaction to having their throats squeezed, which causes the "mouth" of the flower to snap open. Antirrhinum majus literally means "like a rhino's snout" in Ancient Greek. Germans seem to be seeing a Löwenmaul = Lions jaw. I had some very nice coloras in my garden, but have disappeared somehow.
