Deadly Beauty

A few months ago I linked to this weird fluffy pod thing and asked if anyone knew what it was. No one did. Then a few weeks ago, the flowers started to bloom and I've been taking snaps of them, without having a clue what they were. Finally, I have worked out that they are the flowers of the Oleander Bush.

Here in Symi we have them in this fantastic vivid pink and in white, which if anything are even more beautiful. Apparently they are highly poisonous, so I'll try and resist any urge that may arise to try and eat them.

Could come in handy though if I'm ever looking for a creative way of disposing of someone...
