If you want better IDs you will need to post more and better images. I would hope for clear pics of the leaves and stems, a close-up of the flowers from a couple of angles, and an overall shot of the plant. These for each specimen you wish to ID.
Thank you for the reply. It is interesting the flowers of (Brunfelsia pauciflora) change their color from one day to the next, starting purple, turning lavender, and finally becoming white as they mature.

The color change is tied to attracting pollinators. As the flowers lighten they are no longer prime for pollination. Another example is Salvia hot lips which starts off red, then red and white and finally all white. The insects' preference for all red flowers is observable.
