Hi Jamis,

The picture is small but it looks like it could be a variety of Allamanda.* Here's the vining type.

Allamanda schottii aka shrub allamanda.

Many types here.* Do the flowers look like any of these?

Ah, much better.* I think it's a blue palo verde aka Cercidium floridum.

There is alos a yellow palo verde aka Cercidium microphyllum.

[align=left]YES! The leaf structure fits nicely with some other googled images of the blue palo verde. Thank you so very much![/align]

You are so very welcome!* There are some selected cultivars of these trees if you want to plant one.* Google with the scientific name.
