The third plant is Crinodendron hookerianum, which grows very well in
Ireland. The fourth one doesn't look like the allium to me. It's a bit
difficult to see, but it seems to be growing as a big clump. It looks very
much like a Libertia - either formosana or grandiflora (I've never been able
to tell the difference) That would have been in flower in the last month or
so.
I was in Ireland last week, on a tour of gardens in the Dublin area arranged
by the Hardy Plant Society. We saw some wonderful gardens, of all sorts, and
lots of wonderful plants we can't grow in England. But they were all
complaining about how wet it has been the last two months after a very dry
winter.
Hope this helps
