I think the flowers in the posted pictures belong to Bignoniaceae (resembling Adenocalymma).
Wisteria sinensis is a Fabaceae member.

Dear friends, I have Adenocalyma plant also in my house, which used to bloom from October to Jan, Now for some reasons it is not doing well. The difference in between these  two plants character-the leaf structure, the colour and the smell. Only flower-shape and colours are the similar, but not the size and flowering season. Besides that I have seen the flower in temperate region and grown it here in India International Centre, Delhi.

Friends,
Wait for next season. Hopefully more flowers will appear. Then it will be easier to identify.

Refer to this post

Above plant should be Mansoa alliacea  (Lam.) A.H. Gentry  (syn: Adenocalymma alliacea (Lam.) Meirs; Pseudocalymma alliaceum (Lam.) Sandwith) if it has garlic smell when leaves are crushed
or else Bignonia aequinoctialis L. (Cydista aequinoctialis (L.) Miers) if it lacks garlic smell
The two are often confused
