Two for the price of one?

I know it's two questions but one is in front of the other, so I hope that's ok. The bush has lovely pink, highly scented flowers and the yellow flower in front I thought was evening primrose, but it has no scent at all and doesn't only come out in the evening. Help with identifying either or both would be appreciated. Thanks.

I agree with Sid, the front is an Evening Primrose, and we could do with a close up of the back one please,

The front one looks like oenothera biennis, a wild flower that often self sows in gardens.
The shrub behind might be an abelia but as Sid and Daff have already said, a close-up photo would help

Ok, will try a closer pic of the shrub. The yellow one is everywhere - probably because I thought it a good idea to sprinkle the seeds around. Will look them both up - thank you all.

I agree with the others,yellow one is evening primrose, pink one is abelia.I saw evening primrose in a large garden centre being sold as a herb and the label said all parts of the plant could be eaten in salads and the roots boiled !! Havent tried this but I do have them in my garden.

The one in front is defo an evening primrose. Not sure about the one behind - looks familiar tho...a closer pic might help.
