A visitor to my site has identified this flower as an Allamanda.

Thanks to Jenny another of my flowers is identified.
This is a Canna Lily.
According to Wikipedia it isn't a true lily despite it's common name.
It's closest relatives are gingers and bananas which seems strange to me.
Thanks again Jenny.
