Help identifying plants

10 years ago

Hello, I work in the event buisiness, and occasionally i will get some beautiful houses to work at. I needed some help identifying some of the plants in this picture. the ones behind the screen were thorny and had large bean pods like flat bananas. little green bushes/shrubs besides the pool were a mystery as well.

Nice screen setup! It's hard to tell from this distance but the smaller shrubs on the right look like a boxwood. The red flowers on the left look like a hibiscus. The orange flowers at the back right might be a mexican bird of paradise. If you can get a close up of the flowers, seed pods, and leaves we can probably tell you for sure.
