I don't recognize them so they're not typically grown where I live. Location is important for plant ID.

Are you in California? I'm not for sure, since it doesn't grow where I am either, but I am thinking it is oleander, which is very common in California, lining the freeway medians.

Are you in Southern California? If so, keep a close eye on them. Oleanders in SoCal are being decimated by oleander leaf scorch disease, which is incurable and is transmitted via silverleaf whiteflies.

Also note, all parts of the plant are toxic, so don't let small children or pets chew on them.

I'm in Nevada I think you may be right they look like oleander so now I'm not sure if I want to keep them because of my dogs. Will have to research them some more.
