Another beautiful morning for a beach run. Despite it's plumeria-like appearance, this is really the white single flowered Oleander shrub. This variety is sometimes referred to as the Singapore plumeria oleander, further confusing the self proclaimed amateur botanist such as myself. It's a sturdy, reliable bush able to grow up to 20 feet tall and withstand ragged windy conditions. Unlike the plumeria, every part of the oleander is poisonous. Best to steer clear of eating, using or burning anything that remotely resembles in any way this plant.
