The Oleander is another flowering tree in my front yard. I love its delicate pink petals and had no idea until looking it up online that it is one of the most poisonous plants in the world and contains numerous toxic compounds, many of which are deadly to people, especially young children. (Despite this fact, it is often grown in school yards.) The toxicity of Oleander is considered extremely high, and it has been reported that in some cases only a small amount had lethal or near-lethal effects. Who knew?

I remember reading several articles about the dangers of oleanders when I lived in California. The articles cautioned against the use of the plants in home landscaping, stressing their highly toxic--potentially fatal--aspect. But the state highway department made good use on them as ornamental plantings along the freeways.
Go figure!
It's very pretty at least!!
