Wendy - thanks for posting those! The big flowering tree in the 3rd page of your gallery is indeed frangipani or, as we call it here in Hawaii, plumeria. The misty effect that you noticed in a couple of your photos happens when you take your camera out of an air conditioned room into an intensely warm humid environment - you get condensation on your lens which causes everything to turn misty. If you wait long enough, the condensation will evaporate and the the misty look will go away ... :)
Your flower and sunset photos were beautiful!
