The first looks like trachaelspermum (sp?) Star jasmine.
I would very much like to know what the second one is myself. The blooms remind me of some type of grevillea.

i agree with jonni... looks like a jasmine to me too...does it smell nice, Luigi?

n s jonni i too do not know what da second one is...first time seeing it....wonder what it is too!

i believe that somewhere in da darkest night...a candle glows,
i believe for every drop of rain that falls...a flower grows....

with the spines it looks more like a species of carissa

I love the sweet scents wafting in the breeze. I stop to admire the vibrant colors of all living things. And people think me odd. Then ODD I am!!!

I'd say the second photo is probably Grevillea Johnsonii.

The flowers of the first plant smell nice.
I think that it could be a Jasminum.
