I saw this bed in a park in USA and was surprised, then I did not know that an annual variety for beds also exists.

@ Sage: it is yellow mandevilla, a very tough plant can survive harsh summer season, for me it blooms two times a year in Saudi Arabia.

Adnan, It is Allamanda and not yellow Mandevilla.
Mandevilla

Sage,
I have three following Allamandas They are Ramblers, There is a climbing vine variety but it did not survive the Lahore winter.

It dies back a little in winter but comes back.
