The second photo is Damiana, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turnera_diffusa.
sorry not lantana but i used to know the name of it they are native to florida it will come to me.
jamiewgoodspeed, how can you be so sure that this is specifically the rubra instead of one of the other myriad species? I think that Dan has made the correct suggestion of putting the genus and not species in this case.
Sorry about the differing opinion Jamiewgoodspeed. It is not Lantana. Here is a reference link for your perusal: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lantana
the second flower is lantana not hibiscus the first flower is frangipani its latin name is plumeria rubra and lots of people consider the name plumeria to be the common name of the plant.
The yellow flower listed as the second spotting is likely a type of Hibiscus based on its shape and the shape of the leaves. You can use it for a separate spotting.
