Looking to identify two trees

One is commonly called a "tulip tree". It's blooming now in Charlotte, nc
(zone 7) and has pink blooms but not leafing out yet.


Probably Magnolia x soulangiana


THAT'S IT! TY!

The other is apparently an indigenous tree. Has a spindly growth habit that
blooms beautiful small purple flowers along it's long branches. Also has
not
leafed out yet. It grows EVERYWHERE down here, but I haven't found one
small
enough and unclaimed to dig up.

Probably Paulownia tomentosa

Nope. 1 for two ain't bad tho. LOL It's not the cercis canadensis either.
That's too red and these are really a pretty light purple.

Just my 2 cents.........
