The first time I discovered this beautiful flowering plant on the US Virgin Island of St. Thomas and again during our last vacation in Samana D.R.
But what is the name?? I searched and searched, took me quite a while to identify the plant.
Here I found the name..http://www.alohatropicals.com/ offers a wide variety of tropical plants with pictures.
Including the one is was looking for.
I am sure my visitors will agree..it is a gorgeous flower!!
