the first 1 is rain lilly, not quite sure abt the second 1 bcoz a lot of bulbs hav the same kind of fiolage, so one can only tell after it blooms, as a rough guess seems like red amaryllis

The second one could be tuberose... stop watering it in November end and let the foliage get dried in the pot.. resume watering in mid January.. hopefully it will bloom..
