Hello again to the gardening knowledgeable people; I do not have a choice but to ask for help to identify one more plant in my garden. I have moved recently and seeded some plants but many different other plants are growing also in a such a small garden. Please help me to find out if the below plant is a weed or a flower so I do not make a mistake and pull it out.
Thank you in advance!

Sometimes it's a little bit of a futile task to identify plants by a single picture of leaf closeup only, but in this case, it really looked familiar like a weed I have seen somewhere in my yard.... (Where have I seen those innocent looking leaves before???)
Using the very cool U of Wisconsin weed identifier, it looks a lot like Epilobium ciliatum. According to internet, it grows in lots of different places in the world, and sometimes called Willow-herb. Looking it up, I don't find any horrendous characteristics of this weed - like toxicity or extreme invasiveness, etc. But it does make those fluffy parachute-type seeds that float on the wind, so I guess that could be sort of negative.
I don't know if this is your plant, but if nobody else comes up with a better match, maybe look this one up & see what you think.

I believe this is a desert rose. It looks similar to the one here https://chingchailah.blogspot.com/2016/03/growing-desert-rose-or-adenium-obesum.html?m=1
Kind of looks like the leaves of Celosia or New Guinea Impatiens.
