Could the first one be Albizia julibrissin or something similar? I'm afraid I don't know much about these types of plants :?

The second looks like a Calandrinia in the Purslane family. Not sure what species you have available in your area, perhaps C. spectabilis?.

The other is definitely an Albizzia.

First one sure looks like a Mimosa pudica to me. The leaves close up upon touching

I can't think of the name of that tree right now but it is definitely a Mimosoid legume, but not Albizia or Mimosa pudica. The problem is Mimosoid legumes are a big group, though there are only going to be so many species commonly seen in cultivation with red flowers. If the name comes to me I'll let you know.

Oh, by the way, if someone tries to tell you it is a Bottle Brush of some sort, it isn't. The flowers are similar but it is a totally different family.

Check Calliandra tweedii for the first one. That has been in the California nursery trade...
