Oleander nut gets two great finds today..

First in the mail I got my new "Oleander Handbook" its awesome if you like oleanders. has everything in it.Tons of cultivars,pics and drawings.156 pages and was less than $20 mailorder with shipping. Then after getting the book I went shopping, < ((Fanning himself)) I found a new form of oleander, a 3 ft tall bush with overlapping petals that make the flowers look star to round shaped. Deep pink and very stocky grower. $20....what a day...hey what else could I do..it was dark and rainy...and I was bored.. :-)

another pic..

Do you know the cultivar name? I love oleanders too and I'm looking for some new more unusual ones to put in my yard (to distinguish it from the freeway medians which are overgrown with the usual varieties) I just got a double yellow one from Plant Delights and have a variegated one on order with Collectors' Nursery.

No label on it, but Looks like "Francis Moddy Newman" in the new handbook, it fits all the descriptians and pic.

Thanks!

spelled wrong.....opps! supposed to be Moody not Moddy.. :-)

Around here some people fly off to Atlanta or NYC to go shopping. I want to go to Iowa!
