help identifying two shrubs

Hi

I own these two shrubs and I would like to know how to care for them, but I don't know what they're called, so I can't look them up. I'd appreciate any help you could give me.

Oh my God that was fast!!! Thank you both!

 

Interestingly, they're both supposed to have flowers, but neither one has had any.

 

These are now both in bloom, although the Western Garden book said they were supposed to bloom months ago.

 

Well, we had an unusual spring/summer. You are lucky! Our Choisia flowered more of less on schedule in July in Langley. It looked a little discouraged tho".

Sometimes I think street lights confuse the flowering mechansisms in plants. A favourite trick of mine is to get a bit carried away with compost & fertilizer & then I get a great crop of green leaves for a year or two. I should be old enough to know better really.
