I found these Oleanders next to my parking space at the store yesterday. I thought they looked pretty for a killer plant. I wouldn't want them in my yard with my pets and grandkids. Have a Good Weekend Everyone.

Yes the lighting really sets these off. I would not want them in my yard either because of my pets. But you have a beautiful image of them. ♪ ♫ :)sandi♪ =^..^=

Mighty Fine Capture Ed
Some folks here plant them in place of Hedges or Wind Breakers.
Makes a Fine looking Wall when in Bloom.

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the info about those. They look nice, but just not good to eat, huh? Great foofy shot, Ed.

You're right Ed, Oleanders are both very beautiful and very poisonous plants.
Thanks for this beautiful capture my friend!

Beautiful yet deadly 'eh?! Thank you for the info, I didn't realize that. I think these are the same I've been trying to figure out in the white version. Love the pink shade, lighting and clear details.

They look beautiful and harmless Huck, but then don't most things that are not good for you look the same way. Excellent lighting in this one.
I like the way it looks.

Wow, great title, I just read up on them and, I would have never suspected that they were so poisonous. Great capture and I'm glad I have never seen them here.

I think they're disguised as gentle pink little lovelies so they can ambush whoever comes by wanting to graze or nibble on something... ;-) They are pretty little devils and you captured their innocence well, especially against the dark background.

I don't know what happened here, Ed I wrote a comment here -I am 100% sure but apparently it didn't go through and I changed the page. Anyway, Let me say that the flowers are excellent . They glow so well in the sunshine and the color is great. Very beautiful!

I learned they were deadly when I lived in Corpus Christi, TX. I've seen plenty of deep pink and white but never this pale pink variety thanks for sharing it....

I really like your title!
