Oleander is one of the most poisonous plants and contains numerous toxic compounds, many of which can be deadly to people, especially young children but the flowers, as often the case is, are beautiful.
You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

The flowers are presented very well and as all have said are very very nice. I like the concept of the frame and the execution except for the blue color. Granted, I don't know what color I would use in its place, but it doesn't seem to correspond to any other hue here. Just an observation. I do, however like the different textures that the blue line divides. :)
This is a most lovely photo...and the framing is nice, but I too think you might try a different colour for it. It kind of makes the beauty of the flower dim a bit.Personally I would have tried black, as it is so elegant, and then maybe put a thin pink or even green line within the black..but I love what you did do...keep doing it...verena
