Here is a few pictures of the plants that survive and thrive in our 100s degree heat.  Can anyone ID the tall "tree" with red trumpet-like flowers please?  I bought it from a small mom and pop nursery and they have lost the ID tag.  Excuse the legging on the plant because I am trying to save the seeds from the seed pod.

I think you like red!  Your first plants is of course a very familiar Bougainvillea.  The second plant I think is an Oleander.  Very common here in a few colors, pink, white, red and if I'm not mistaken, coral.  Requires very little water and is planted as a divider on the freeways here, hence the nickname, freeway shrub.

Thanks Annette.  I do like red and pink.   ;D @O@  These are tropical plants so I have to take them indoor in the winter in order to keep them alive.  All my other plants are not looking too well due to the intense heat.  My Adenium Desert Rose is doing quite well along with these tropical plants.  I am starting some Plumeria seeds and Adenium seeds so hopefully they will do well in the heat since we are always hit with it plus the drought.   :-\

 Very nice Bougainvillea.  Mine doeswn't usually bloom until September.  I have to take it in also.

Yes, I was thinking Oleander also.  Pretty.

Thank you Sue.  I really like the Oleander.  The little nursery also has a pink or salmon colored one so I may go back and get it.  :)

Well, none of them look familiar to me, so I'm no help!    I'm glad to know what they are though, and I like them, they are beautiful!

Where Oleander is planted roadside in Florida, it comes with a warning sign that say that should you burn it, the smoke is toxic.

The plant is an Oleander. I've never considered them trees.  The entire plant is toxic. Oleanders are grown every where in la Louisian.

Oleanders can be pruned into a tree shape but are most commonly hedges and the little dwarf ones bushes. They are toxic but very common in hot parts of the world.
