Top one is Crinodendrum hookerianum
bottom one Hibiscus syriacus. Bluebird.
Sorry but Hibiscus syriacus Bluebird is a simple flower...rather purple.
While Guernsey Donkeys2 flowers are semi double..pink.

Photo 2 looks like a double Abutilon. Hybridum Pink Swirls perhaps.
Thank you one and all for helping to identify these plants for me. The first was planted by our daughters partner in our front garden. He doesn't keep labels, and I had never knowingly seen this unusual plant before. The remaining two flowering shrubs were seen in a garden further up the road, they do look lovely when in flower although I don't think I will be introducing them into our garden, I was just interested to know what they were.
