Description
These beautiful Nerium Oleander blossoms are poisonous beauties growing in Andalucia, Southern Spain. They come in pink and white and are very hardy and give beautiful colour through the summer.
Nerium oleander is a highly toxic ornamental shrub widely cultivated in the Mediterranean. It has been grown since ancient times and features in many of the Roman wall paintings in Pompeii.
Alexander the Great in his military campaigns is said to have lost men as a result of eating meat skewered on the highly poisonous Nerium twigs.
