I am visiting from out of town and saw these nice flowers planted along the Riverwalk in San Antonio. The attached photo was taken April 1. Can someone tell me what these are? Are they commonly planted around here? Thanks.

Comments (17)I am a plumeria grower and I live in Alice. I purchased 1 each of several colors a number of years ago and then did a swap for 2 unknowns; I've been hooked ever since. When I was on Kauai a few years ago I collected quite a few sticks from around the island and brought them home with me. I've also gotten quite a few cuttings from a lady on O'Ahu who has a Yahoo group. She collects cuttings from around the island then sends them to group members who pay the S&H costs. I also got several plants from Tally today at the SA plant swap. I have none that are named varieties, or at least I don't know that I do. I'm not really worried about names as much as I am about beauty and variety. At present I have 16 semi-grown plumies (4-6' tall), the 3 plants I got today and 5 large rooted cuttings. Not a huge collection, but I'm just getting started. ;-)...See MoreGorgeous yellow flowering tree with large flowers needs an ID.

9 years agoPKponder, that ID looks right to me. Thank you. It seems to be a great plant.
I flipped the picture 180 degrees on my phone now to see if it flips it right side up. Let's see...
