Not 100% certain I think it’s a Bottle Brush Tree, another next to it had White flowers. We were staying with our daughter for 5 weeks in Mandurah, Australia and daily on our walk to the bus stop we saw them on the side-walks. They love the sun obviously . Is it Bottle Brush ?

    My daughter has a beauty, red one,  but she lives in a sheltered part of Cornwall.

    you can grow Frangipani as a houseplant or in a warm conservatory.  My mum had one once.

     Got me on a mission now to find a supplier Lyn. Our garden is steep , tiered , north facing and on the side of a valley here in South Wales. I love a challenge will give it a go starting with asking around local Family run Nurseries there’s a few around where I live . Now to get newly potted-on seedlings out of the Greenhouse to get watered as it’s drizzling .Thanks

    From what I gather from my daughter,    they need to be in full sun.
