    We were recently in Mexico (Mazatlan) visiting relatives and was so awestruck by the proliferation of, what we up in the North call, house plants ..on steroids.

    Anyway, I am cataloging the photos we took and would like to get some id's on a few plants.

    Appreciate the help in identifying the following first 3 species of 6.

    Thanks!

    1. I agree, definitely Spathodea campanulata. Very common boulevard trees down here.

    2. Commonly called a Fan Palm or Traveler's Palm, but it's actually Ravenala madagascariensis and more closely related to Bananas and Heliconias.

    3. Frangipani (Plumeria spp) It smelled great, no?
