HFF everyone!

Oleander, Parque de Santander, Madrid.
Oleander is ubiquitous in Central and Southern Spain (and Portugal) and its flowers are either red, pink or white. It is used as a border on Spanish motorways in Andalucia (and California, I am reliably informed).

Great picture Andy. Is that a play area behind the fence? It looks like a baseball field. The flowers are gorgeous, it's lovely that the Spaniards grow them along the roads.

Andy Rodker ^club has replied to Jenny McIntyre ^club

Thank you Jenny!
It's a golf driving range and it means a large part of the park is out of bounds, hence the fence! It's a shame but fortunately there are nice areas of the park open to everyone!

Highly toxic. It is said that the population of Ronda annihilated a Napoleonic battalion by entertaining them with game meat roasted on oleander branches.

Andy Rodker ^club has replied to Anton Cruz Carro ^club

I never knew that. So no matter how hungry I get I must remember never to eat oleander!!!

Oleander is widely planted in the warmer parts of the U.S. because it's hardy, fast-growing, and even tolerant to automotive fumes. Here's a hedge in central California:

And it's not _quite_ so toxic as urban legend has it! ;)

Andy Rodker ^club has replied to slgwv ^club

Yes, I see there are pink oleanders too; I had forgotten that when I posted this shot!
So it's used for highway edging in the US as well! I'm not surprised.
I'm still not going to feast on this plant!!
Thank you, Stave!

I'd guess the pink is a hybrid of the red and white varieties!

Wunderschön blüht der Oleander, Andy.
Die Hecken als Begrenzungen erinnern mich an meine Irlandreise, dort gab es Hecken aus Fuchsien und gar Rhododendren.
Schöne Grüße
