Hi loosecanon....... I agree with you that the leaves are similar in
appearance to an oleander (although the leaves are much smaller - only 4cm
or so in length).

When I first saw the flowers they somewhat reminded me of the shape of Hoya
flowers. But they are not at all "waxy" like Hoya flowers.

The little raised "crown" at the centre of the 5 outside petals, appears to
have 5 'petals/sections' also, and it almost seems as if it is formed by the
5 'crown petals' being tightly coiled, and feels firm to the touch, compared
to the outside petals which are quite soft.

And, of course, the flowers are quite sticky.

I've posted a photo on my Blog of the flowers of a plant I saw in my
friend's garden today.

I've not come across a similar plant before, and after searching the net
(and all my plant books) I cannot identify it.

Although the flowers appear almost "pinkish" on the photo, they are pure
white (I think the pink happened because I used a green folder as a
background when I was taking the photo).

Here's the link to my Blog http://geraldtonbagshaws.blogspot.com/

Strangely resembles an oleander.
