plant id

[sissy]

I have looked and looked and can't seem to find this plant on any sight on the puter.It has flowered for weeks now and has grown to twice the size

No idea, but it reminds me of an oleander.

 

[sissy]

I checked several plant sights and they said it was not an oleander ,so after that i was lost

 

[sissy]

They told me the flowers are not speckled like that .If it was oleander I would get rid of it .don't want poison plants

 

[Mmathis]

It's really familiar, though.....

I can't tell much from the picture -- which of these 2 example fit best?

I will have to follow this thread. My dad had those plants and could never tell me the name. I have searched a lot of sites and can't find an id.

The leaf stems are looking like both pics .They are all over the sides and the flowers come out from the inside of the leaf stem where it says do-dad .What is getting me is none of the plants I have seen have speckled flowers in different colors

[addy1]

[sissy]
