#2 looks like some sort of Fraxinus - Ash

#1 A bit hard to tell with no scale but could be either Dwarf wisteria as Grant says or possibly a standard wisteria. Could also be Indigofera decora sometimes known as summer wisteria.

Thanks all, the first one is very small and after some research does appear to be a Dwarf Wisteria, The Fraxinus Ash looks to be on the money too, Cheers!

Hey Mac a tip to help with ID's is to include a AA battery from your "escape doomsday kit" to help with the scale :idea:

Will do Bougy thanks, this became apparent when the scale of the Wisteria was hard to convey as it is really minute!

Millettia.jpg
'Hime Fuji', also called 'Ko Fuji', is indeed NOT a true wisteria. It is a Millettia, as the botanical name indicates. Since it looks like a Wisteria, it's called a Dwarf Wisteria because of the similar foliage

I have had my two Millettia for 20+ years - both grow well in Canberra – but never flowered
