    Pyrostegia venusta.. I just bought one.

    I love the double Hibiscus.

    The first tree could be Kigelia africana. the Sausage Tree. I don't know the second tree but it is stunning.

      Oh a Sausage Tree , new to me I liked the leaves particularly my OH thought the leaves were similar to our Laburnum Tree half way up our steep garden here in South Wales. No idea what the second tree was it was on a verge under planted with Poinsettias spotted in lots of places around the small town . Will do a bit of research later to try and find it , many Thanks !

          Just guessing but I thought the second tree looked like a form of Dracaena.

                I'm sure they are enjoying the rain and the humidity that goes with it, perhaps not the night temperature so much recently.

                  I check on them every morning and none have suffered. We only go down to the low temp for a short time and they are in a protected place in front of the house. However, I always keep my :fingers crossed: dedos cruzados.

                                Gorgeous @Victoria Mine is still alive having come back from France with me as a cutting 12 yrs ago but I really don't think it is going to do much here. I fear I'll end up ditching it :sad:
