It is a small tree and can be found in many South African gardens. This is not surprising as they readily grow from cuttings and the flowers make a beautiful show of colour during the summer months.
It is indigenous to the West Indies.
I like to think of them as friendly flowers. These were photographed last season at St Phillips Church.

They are beautiful!! I wish we could grow them here - we get too much frost.
The flowers are amazing - they almost look surreal.
Do they have a scent?

Jenty it may be worth trying to find a sheltered part of your garden to grow one.
Hi Oswegan
The flower do have that quality. As for the smell... the best way I can describe it is sweet.

Hi Moi,
These are amazing flowers - we tend to overlook them, because they are so common. Thanks for the visit.
