Description
These are such common flowers here in California. They line our highways in huge flowering bushes and add such colorful beauty. They are Oleanders and can be poisonous to animals if consumed in large quantities, but are not as dangerous for humans.
Nerium oleander is an evergreen shrub or small tree in the dogbane family Apocynaceae, toxic in all its parts. It is the only species currently classified in the genus Nerium. It is most commonly known as oleander, from its superficial resemblance to the unrelated olive Olea. It is so widely cultivated that no precise region of origin has been identified, though southwest Asia has been suggested. The ancient city of Volubilis in Morocco may have taken its name from the Berber name oualilt for the flower. Oleander is one of the most poisonous commonly grown garden plants. - from Wikipedia
