    @pete the frangipani smells beautiful! Have seen them in thailand also. Love the scent.

      The tree behind the Plumeria (Frangipani) is Delonix regia, FLamboyant tree, it is clearer in that photo, the nearest I have seen both of them is Northern Cyprus, Tenerife and Madeira.

        Not too sure about that. Allamanda leaves are smooth and singular whereas this appears to have serated and complex leaves. Tecoma is my guess, T.stans being the most popular in cultivation.

          Or even a yellow Campsis?

            I agree with @longk that the yellow one is Tecoma stans (Ginger Thomas). They are in full bloom here at the moment, mine is filling out more and has a light smell of ginger.

              My best guess is one of the Jatropha species.

              Again, I go with @longk on this as I have Jatropha integerrima. However I only dream mine could look as lush as that ... mine is spindly so must make an effort with it!

                          The variegated sub shrub looks like Pseuderanthemum Stainless Steel but I am not 100% sure.
