oleander

as much as it is beautiful, oleander is one of the most poisonous of commonly grown garden plants. it is a hardy plant as it can tolerate draught as well as frost and poor soils.

saw this large bush rife with pretty pink flowers outside the florist shop this morning. so i'm still alive with my o's!

thank you for your kind visits and comments; know that they are truly appreciated.

when it rains, it pours! i can't believe it, four of my photos are currently in the final voting stages of three different challenges. it has got to stop! :-)

I saw this and thought how amazing it was that someone saw a common oleander and found the beauty in it! Then I see you're still racking up the "o"s, and beautifully at that!

It looks beautiful, a lovely shade of pink and nice darker pink stripes in the middle. Good luck with all the challenges, I must get voting for you!
