Can someone ID these two flowers?

12 years ago

I was given some cuttings from these two trees a while ago and they are finally rooting. Can someone ID these for me? I was told that these trees started as cuttings brought back from Hawaii years ago.

The other clue that I can give is that the pink/orange flower is HUGE (maybe 5" across) and has awesome keeping quality. It sat in my kitchen for about a week and did not lose any color or smell.

Thanks!

Given the flower size, the first one COULD be 'California Sally', but not sure.

Where do you live and what temps are you experiencing? Flowers change color in different temps.

Thanks, it does look like Sally after looking at Google images for that name. This tree is between Tampa, FL and Central FL, and we have been seeing highs in low 90's and high humidity.

Any idea on the yellow one?

No idea on the yellow one. Sort of like Aztec Gold, but there are a ton of yellow varieties.
