I’ve lived around oleander all my lif. It has a beautiful flower, but I’ve never looked at the individual parts of tht complex flower! It’s beautiful! Thanks for sharing this shot!
I never had, either. I think there are many varieties but these looked more like cematis. I did find some Google images that showed that the leaves are right and the flowers pretty close, so I opted for oleanders. Definitely not clematis leaves. I found them growing outside a restaurant right next to their dining room, so hope the server and cooks know enough about flowers not to use them to decorate the plates as they do use flowers for accents.
