Can't identify these two flowers. Not surprising, I'm new to this subject. Both seen close to Buskett. Help would be appreciated.

The last one is Prasium majus but the yellow one should be an ornamental plant that I am not fond of!

I was thinking about a Honeysuckle for the first photo, but usually this have broader leaves. Lonicera japonica have yellowish flowers in contrast to the wild Lonicera implexa which are a mix of pink/purple/cream. However the photos alone is not enough to conclude this.
