Finally got an Oleander

Couldn't resist this today at HD.
Completely forgot I went in there for some weatherstripping :lol:

Regular $29, down to $14, so I had to bring it home.

I'm hoping the flower buds don't fall off.

If you drink, don't drive. Don't even putt.

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

Thanks Aaron!
Tiny white flowers have opened at branch tips.
Thought they'd be somewhat larger, more like Plumeria.

Apparently Oleander likes hot sunny conditions.
Yippeeeee!
Glad to find something that doesn't need a shady patio.
