A friend gave me this plant several years ago. It was something she bought at Home Depot and was a small little plant. It has grown into this big plant and it has these really pretty flowers. I bring it inside in the winter and it drops its leaves and kind of goes dormant. I still water it some and have it where it can see the morning sun. No one I know seems to know what it is. I don't normally have a green thumb but this plant has flourished in spite of me!

Could be a hibiscus or an azalea..need a closer look at the actual flower. You are certainly being a good mom....look how happy it is...maybe consider a larger pot or more dirt. You could look on line and see if it will live outside as a perennial in your zone...if so after bloom time you could transplant

I believe it is a rhododendron, but could be an azalea. A better pic of the leaves and flowers would help

My first thought was plumeria, but more pictures would help.

This was my first thought. If you have a plant nursery near by you could clip a blossom and leaf and take it in and they would probably be able to identify it and give you care instructions.

Whatever it is, it is very pretty!

Looks like an Azalea, but could also be a Rhododendron. All azaleas are rhododendrons, but not all rhododendrons are azaleas.

This site has info on both:

Leaves are wrong for an azalea or rhododendron. Looks more like a Plumeria. Need a close-up of the flower to confirm.

Looks kinda like a desert rose. I have a white one with those type of leaves. ALthough I live in Florida.
