I finally (after trying to track it down for two years) know what the silver plants with the dark red flowers are.
They are rose campions. Due to some detective work done by a friend (thanks Karen) I know that these are rose campion. And a few more details (they are short lived perennials [2-3 years] that reseed easily and can be planted with yellow flowers for a "hot" garden.)
Speaking of yellow flowers:
the primroses are taking over the garden in cahoots with the rose campions.

The two compliment each other well in color and in bloom time. |
Butterfly pictures should start showing up soon. We've seen one or two butterflies already, but they'll be more as soon as the butterfly bushes start to bloom.
