    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.
