I thought this one should be A. blanchetii (syn: A. violacea).

... though the colours of the flower are close to that of A. blanchetii (syn: A. violacea), the size of flower looks smaller in comparison ... the size of flower seems to match A. cathartica. Thus, cannot overrule some cultivar of A. cathartica ... 'Cherries Jubilee' is a popular cultivar ... http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/65560/

Please wait for comment(s).

Distributed as Allamanda blanchetii ?
Although plant looks A. blachetii at first look, but as Dinesh ji suggested A. cathartica 'Cherries Jubilee' or even 'Cherry Ripe'.  The two species are primarily differentiated by pubescent young shoots, leaves and Calyx in A. blanchetii, all glabrous in A. cathartica. I don;t see any pubescens on any of these.
