OLEANDERS

My Favourite trees are ' Willow Trees "and  "Oleanders "
Some people call Oleanders Shrubs


My Oleanders flower 8 months of the year, and are green all year round
The frost doesn't damage them, or the supreme heat
To-day it is 38% , and my white, cream and pale pink Oleanders look so cool


I use them as backdrops,or just a specimon tree
I also have them in pots ( I love the red one )
5 of them I have topiared, so that I can grow flowers underneath


Poisoners   ? Yes, the sap is especially poisoness if eaten But oleanders have been grown all around the world, and there has been only a few fatalitys
In fact, the sap from the azalea, and rhodedendron are poisoness
Azaleas -  Roman soldiers were poisoned from honey like sap of azalea pontic
Rhododendrons - Thier poisonos compound is Actylandromdal found in the nectar and produces
depressions of blood pressure, shock, and finally death


"Interesting Fact "
Oleanders are the official flower of Hiroshima, having been the first to bloom following the atomic
bombing of the city in 1945

I just love this old Childrens Bicycle                              It.s so cute and looks great in my garden


I found my other find in a shop called" Cheap as Chips"
I just knew I had to have him 
To me, he looked like the extinct Dodo Bird, but I think he is supposed to be a Pelican
But  I call him "Dodo "
