Lion

Could it be a type of allemande But it has only four petals ( I think) and Amandas have five? Posted 9 years ago, modified 9 years ago

  No, Allamanda angustifolia has a trumpet shaped flower - petals are fused at the base. This one has separate petals. Posted 9 years ago

        I think Ludwigia peruviana is more likely.
