    I was told this was Oleander, but the leaves don't look right. Anyone know?

    Oleander def nope. Looks like a Plumeria but I am not 100% sure. The leaves look funny.

    I agree with Calinronmania that it is a Plumeria. I think it is Plumeria pudica. That variety has fiddle or spoon shaped leaves.

    Thank you both, that's exactly what my plant is. I've searched everywhere for a plant with those shaped leaves and never found one. But researching the name Plumeria pudica, I discovered that's what my plant is. Thank you, now I know how to care for it, and I see how easy it is to propagate from other forums. :-D
