The red/pink one looks like it could be a Sweet William but I'm not absolutely sure - have they left any long slender leaves on it?
Also could be a rhododendron - mmmm ??

Don't think Sweet William or Rhodie. Couple of pics below showing the leaves that are getting a bit wilted.

Mmmm - can't see anything like that - not with those leaves - I was thinking of some sort of stock
Have looked on Interflora - better get The Predator to ask Miss Marple at MI7.

It's a cockscomb, Peregrine - Celosia cristata.
It looks very exotic but it is actually quite possible to grow. Comes in yellow too
