Can anyone help me with the names of these 2 plants as I've lost the labels? They are in flower at the moment. As you can see one is a bright pink, the other a very pale pink - both very pretty. I assume they are the same kind of plant. Could they be Kaffir lilies? Thanks in advance.

Look like Schizostylus to me

I would say the same. Schizostylus are another name for Kaffir lilies, Slimdil.

The top one could be Schizostylis coccinea 'Rosea' and the second one I'm pretty sure is S. c. 'Pink Princess', as mine is in flower and it looks exactly the same!

Thanks for that. A great help. I'll write labels straight away.

I think it's too dark for 'Jennifer' - I've got that in flower, Sbg. I did see S.c. 'Rosea' at the GC, and it was very like this one.
