Hello friends,
Nerium, commonly known as Oleander, is a type of evergreen plant that usually grows as an upright shrub or sometimes takes the form of a small tree.
This plant is recognized for its striking appearance, characterized by its dark green leaves, which can be found arranged either in opposite pairs or in whorls around the stem.
The flowers of Oleander are particularly noteworthy, forming an inflorescence that resembles a false umbrella and adding to the plant's decorative appeal.
The flowers are quite large and have a unique funnel shape, with a cylindrical base that transitions into a throat that is wide and open.
One striking feature is how the lobes of the flower overlap to the right, giving it a distinctive look.
Each flower consists of five segments that resemble petals; these are not only large but also have a fringed texture that enhances their beauty.
Inside the flower, the stamens are positioned at the top of the corolla tube, which is the tubular part of the flower.
The anthers, which are responsible for producing pollen, are arrow-shaped and have a small hairy structure at their tips, aiding in the pollination process.
