The Oleander is common in California. Loves the heat. Not bothered by lack of rain. Blooms almost all year. So what's the problem? It contains toxic cardiac glycosides that can cause fatal heart problems if ingested by humans or animals. Every part of the plant is toxic - that is if you were to eat it. This plant hangs over the fence over where I park my trash cans and sometimes when I sweep up spent flowers, they are stacked up several inches deep.

This image would not catch anyone's attention if in color. But as presented here, taken with a Sony A6300 that has been modified to B&W only and is also Full Spectrum in that it is sensitive to IR light, a 720nm filter turns the leaves white to match the white flowers. This shot caught my attention due to the contrast of the dark sky with the white leaves.

Zoom all the way in and take a look.
