Yakmon,
I'll have to take photos of the plants. Mine are all in pots so I can bring them inside for the winter. It got so cold here that my oleander burned this winter! I live in the foothills of Phoenix at 2250 feet. I just won't take the chance of loosing them.
I have a little pink one that I got a few weeks ago. I think it is going to be great when it gets bigger. The flowers look about the same size.
I had to move the plants under our huge pine tree because it's over 110 and we have very little humidity. I'm not sure about how much to water them but I water the concrete so the humidity gets kicked up and I mist the plants. I haven't seen a seed pod yet but it could be too soon.
This is one of my red ones.
