Macro Mondays: Poisonous theme
Oleander is one of the most poisonous commonly grown garden plants.
Oleander contains several toxic elements, including cardiac glycosides, saponins, digitoxigenin, oleandrin, oleondroside, nerioside and other unknown toxins. These poisons are found in all parts of the oleander plant and are toxic whether the plant parts are dried or green. Ingestion of any part of the oleander plant can lead to serious illness and possibly death.
Our yard is surrounded by very tall white oleander hedges which are currently in bloom. They are quite beautiful.
