....Oleander that is but I am being slightly snobby and trying to adhere to the botanical names. Trying.
So I have many ideas of what Oleanders look like in my mind. As stated before in a previous post, I grew up driving 99 and am familiar with the scrubbinous of those Oleanders, but also the well established and stately ladies lining the road to my grandfather's house. All are poisonous (do you remember the book or the Michelle Pfeiffer movie?) but tolerant of extreme conditions like drought, heat and intense sun. Despite some drawbacks I think these are beautiful specimens either ignored or pampered.
