Hi! Mind if I drop in? These photos are beauties. The second one is Hardenbergia - I believe that the first one isn't. Could the first one be shell flower? There are Magnolias that grow in several sizes from 7 feet or so to 30 or 40 feet depending on the cultivar. Magnolias come in yellow, dark pink, doubles, and white with red centers. Those evergreen Magnolias lovely thing is the scent of those big flowers. This is Magnolia "Galaxy" blooming right now.

For a few different Magnolias see the Wayside Garden link at:

Perhaps not the best place to buy - see the garden watchdog, I haven't checked - but they do have some pretty pictures.
