A visitor to my site has identified this flower as an Allamanda.
A couple of quick searches proved her correct.
Thank you Jenny for taking your time to help me with this page.

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.
