While I agree regarding the first photo being C. fuscata I am less certain regarding the second. This plant appears to have a more robust stem which would suggest it is C. carnea. C. carnea also tend to have green stems but colour can be misleading in some cases. While C. fuscata tends to flower earlier than C. carnea both species can be found flowering together.
If you considered the second photo was a stronger (more robust) stem it may be better to separate into two records.
