Can't tell if the second is tulips just yet because there is often a
wave in the leaf that I don't yet see. The tulip leaf is of a milkier
green that I don't believe has as much translucence as those in the
photo.
I sort of envy the photo of the shooting star. That's a native prairie
plant that we see in May, but they dance in even the slightest movement
of breeze. Extremely difficult to get a good photo of them. In the
wild:

Yours have more purple in them. I only see white ones and pink ones
natively.
