Allamanda Blanchetii

Someone planted this morning glory lookalike plant at the garden near the lift lobby. I'm curious what plant is this. The flowers did not wither away and looked fresh for at least 3 days. Anyone knows what is the name of the plant? Thanks.

Thanks to Houzz community and carolb_w_fl for identifying the plant.

Random flower photographs

I went to my friend's house in Johore Bahru and she had a mini garden outside her gates. I couldn't resist the vibrant colours of the flowers. I took out my iPhone and took a few shots.

Thanks to Gardenweb forum in Houzz, people in the forum have identified the plants/flowers and I have updated the names in the photos.

Portulaca Grandiflora flowers or moss roses

I went to my friend's house in Johor Bahru. It is a landed property and she has a small garden outside her gate. It was quite sunny that day. I managed to capture some photographs of her moss roses.

peperomia hoffmannii

This plant, peperomia hoffmannii, has a strange flower and I used my macro lens attachment onto my iPhone 6 and took a few shots. I selected one shot and posted below. I'm not sure whether the two rose-liked leaves are the flowers. It has a baby corn-liked structure at the middle. This is typical of a peperomia hoffmannii and I think this is plant. The macro lens is unable to focus the baby corn-liked structure and it is blurred at the tip. When I was taking this shot, I wanted to feature the rose-liked leaves but I was not able to focus there too. The iPhone AF is not able to focus on the two roses. It would be good if it can focus on all objects.
