Oleander Tree?
It was all over the News last year here in S.Calif. on the major network news
shows. Anyone who don't think Oleander's are not poisonous is living a fools dream. Have you ever workd around them? I have as I do like the plant and it's flowers and it's the one plant that you see almost no bugs eating, and for good reson too. -- In This Universe The Night was Falling,The Shadows were lenghtening towards an east that would not know another dawn.

It also stated these were the only reported cases in 30 years. I continue to search for additional cases, but it still seems there are more poisonings from other plants. Yes I have worked around them in the landscape trade for 16 years in the desert SW. There are a number of sucking insects that feed on them. Aphids swarm the buds and flowers as if they were overfed roses, in most yards. Since I don't use chemical fertilizers and overwater they are not a problem for me. They provide a beautiful large blooming shrub to hide the neighbors rug rats splashing about in the pool. I suspect there's more to the story in LA, the story goes on to say they were not eaten in the family yard. I wonder what a 2 and 3 year old were doing unattended in a strangers yard?
