I love pink Oleanders! White ones are ok too. There is one that is a darker shade than this pink, do you have that too Sumathi?

Last week I saw the oleanders in full bloom in the seperators of along the stretch of Chennai-Tindivanam highway. It was a feast to eyes while travelling!

Golden yellow is so special, I don't think I remember how that looked, or maybe, I haven't seen Oleanders in that color yet.
You are lucky to own your own farm Sumathi.

You are right Jaya,the entire stretch of the Bangalore highway too has these flowers at the median seperator.But quite pathetic to see people plucking those flowers for their personal use

Yes, only recently the other colours have become quite famous in the local markets - an almost maroon colour, then dark and light pink, white, golden yellow and light yellow... If you see my Ganesh Chathurthi pic you will see the almost maroon and golden yellow colour oleander garland adorning Ganesha...
