Galveston: The Oleander City

[@rogerbird7015]

That was a very well researched presentation on the oleander flower in Galveston. It makes me want to go out and plant some here in Texas City! A+!

I have always loved the oleander BECAUSE of Galveston. It was the first breath of fresh air my heart would take in as a little girl traveling into the island. I have always wondered "how" the oleanders came to be in Galveston. Now I know. Wonderful!!!! I love Galveston Unscripted!!! It teaches me about a city I have familial connections, as well as, many childhood memories.

The Oleander Festival is at the Betty Head Oleander Park on August 27, 2024 this year. You can buy many different varieties of Oleander there!

I remember In the 60’s and 70’s arriving on the island on Broadway you would be greeted by hundreds of oleanders and very large statues. It was very impressive. Much different times back then.

The oleander is in the same group of plants as the plumeria and the desert rose (Adenturia) of the southeastern Mediterranean.

Really?? Bees, Hummingbirds won't go near this plant. Poisonous if animals eat the leaves. Why not Milkweed plants to attract butterflies, bees?

What?
