Yes you are spot on LynneBee, a Frangipani, and the second one i believe could be a relative of the Allamanda Cathartica, but i'm
not sure of that. Mine is yellow, and i have never seen one that colour. At first i thought it was a type of Mandavilla Splendens, but i don't think it is.
I wonder if Bill could shed some light on it. Both are going over now here, as Perth isn't a tropical climate, it is a mediteranean climate. Up in the
tropics, those plants never stop flowering. I will pm Bill and get him to take a look.
By the way, i would give my eye teeth to have a great big vase of the magnificent English lilac that you can grow over there, and we can't. Anything that needs a frost is out for us here in Perth, and i miss a lot of those plants, so everyone always has what someone else wants! I love looking at all your wonderful english gardens, and i have to admit with a twinge of jealousy...sorry, not a good thing to have!  Keep the pictures coming, please!

No good asking me to identify flowers; I always go ask Robin. I have just shown it to her and she said it may be "one of the Mandevillas", then found
Mandevilla x amabilis in her Plants and Flowers Bible. It certainly looks like it but the picture Robin found looks to be a paler version. (Why is the picture
in sideways?)

I think it would help if the pic was the right
way up, for sure ! I'm still not convinced it is a Mandevilla, but as i don't know any better i shall take your word for it. I have Googled a bit over
it, and can't find one that shade. Another factor is the leaves, which don't match the Mandevilla. The leaves are far more like a Allamanda...the two
pairs together. Interesting one. Can anyone else throw some light on it?

Love that first one, I take it this is from where she is & not her home garden? I don't think the 2nd is mandavillea, the leaves don't look glossy
& I'm sure the petals don't overlap like that

I'll tell Sal to look in on this thread as she is finding names the plants very confusing over there. The reason the piccie is in sideways is because I
wanted to get her journal and piccies online for you all to see and it was a bit of a rush before I left home for the weekend.

Well it is now 6.15 in the morning here, and i have just been out to pick up my daughter who works at the nightclub in Fremantle,
(nuts, and i'm nuts aswell, but i worry !!!!!) and while waiting around have Googled and Googled, and i've definately decided (well almost) that it is
an Allamanda Cathartica Cherry Ripe or Cherries Jubillee, (more towards the Cherry Ripe really.) Yes i do understand that i probably need my head testing. So
now i had better go and get a couple of hours.
