It's unlikely you'll get anything at all the first year. Forsythias don't "flower" in the conventional manner, but the buds turn a bright yellow before they fall off and expose the green leaves. They are generally the first of spring. If you already have lots of green leaves, then the bright yellow buds have already fallen off for the season. Your magnolia may have suffered a bit of shock in the planting process and you may have to just wait a year before you get the first blooms.
Sorry you won't get the color you want this year but I you have great taste in plants! Those are two of my favorites.
I planted a magnolia bush and forsythia a few weeks ago and they have a ton of green leaves but no flowers?
Once forsythia have leaves, they will not bloom again until the following spring.
Might be a little early for the magnolia, or it could take a couple of years to bloom, depending on the size and age of the tree.
