    Hello,

    I came across those flowers and leaves from plants and trees from the streets where I live. I was hoping somebody could help me identify them.

    Thank you,
    Mehdi

    Thank you for your reply. I think you might be right concerning the "pride of barbadoes" because the leaves it had were similar to the ones shown in the link you posted.

    It's the first time I try to identify plants and I have no knowledge of botany. So I'm not familiar with the methods. But I will go back and take pictures of the whole plants.

    Thanks again!

    leaf no. 2 and the last flower might belong together - plumeria.

    you guys know your stuff. Its incredible to see people identifying plants so easily.
    It is in fact from a plumeria.

    Thank you

    Is the first photo from a shrub, a tree or another plant?

    If it's from a tree, it makes think of an ulmacea, perhaps a species of Celtis or Zelkova.

    My two €-cents' worth...

    The Plumeria is P. obtusa

    The first photo does not look lika an Ulmacea but may be leaflets of a compound leaf, e.g. like a Fraxinus sp. -- but I doubt that it's that. You need to show the whole branch, showing mode of attachment of leaves.
