Help with a pink flower ID
A friend has this flower in her window box, currently covered in buds and looking very happy in the frost. Plant.net says it's an apocynaceae. Any thoughts on ID and how best to nuture it? She is a total non-gardener and was given the plant as a house warming present. Thanks

I presume "Picture this " is an id app.
RHS...see link below...says flowers are white or cream.
Wiki ..ditto.
Who do I believe RHS /wiki OR an app?
