I wonder if someone can help me identify the following two plants.

I had thought the first was lungwort (pulmonaria), and the second lily of the valley, but I'm fairly confident I'm wrong on both counts.

The first is Lithospermum 'Heavenly Blue'. Now called Lithodora
'Heavenly Blue' I believe. See http://tinyurl.com/kavmqwl

Agreed.

Not so certain about the second, but I think it's a Heuchera, of which
there are dozens of different types with a whole range of leaf
colours. See http://tinyurl.com/nt8z6we

Tellima grandiflora (fringecups).
