Could the first one be Oregon Grape (Mahonia Aquifolium)?

1st I'd agree with surbie100, on some kind of Mahonia (holly like leaves, yellow flowers)

2nd I go with some type of Campanula, looks just like my one growing in a pot.

I have this particular one, but there are many varieties,

I agree with the first one, but the second looks like celandines which seem to have been rather rampant this year in our area.
