The first one, I agree with Tina, is one of the star of Bethlehem species, likely Ornithogalum nutans. And the sixth is an evening primrose, but which of the 125 Oenothera species? As for the other ones, dunno.

Even in colder climes, peonies take a while to establish and get big blooms. So yours is all good.

The fourth kind some kind of evening primrose. The lizard now, hmmm. We just went to an exotic pet store and saw something similar.
