Was it the Tripadvisor site you looked at? The only flowers I can see on the Kyrenia Tavern posts there are Frangipane. White with a yellow centre.

Just looked at the picture, do not know name but have 2 of these in my garden, next time you are over you can call and takesome seed pods the tree constantly grows seed pods that look like very small green tomatoes, they go dark brown then drop off and can be planted. The trees grow plenty of pods all year round.

I believe it is called a Candle Tree. I have one and that is what the lable on the pot said. I think they are quite widely available but I brought mine from Mediterainean Garden in Alsancak.

Well done Judyr I would say this is the same plant.

One site describes the plant as being poisonous if ingested, also sheds leaves / flowers going into your pool?

(Dave's Garden)

It is a nice plant tho sdesouza, some examples have grown really big.
