Here is a close-up photo of a white flower that many of us in Scottsdale and Paradise Valley see regularly.This is a white oleander flower. I like the squiggly lines. It looks like a white sun in the center of the flower.
Oleanders are plants and are grown everywhere in Scottsdale and Paradise Valley. They are used as a privacy barrier between homes.
Oleanders grow very tall and are very thick. They are very green but do produce lots of blossoms. I have white and fuscia pink blossoming oleanders in my backyard.

Beautiful. And do they have a scent, Julie?
Oleanders have a wonderful sweet scent. We have a few around here, but most grow farther south.
Beautiful flower. Maybe for You something common, but for me -- unique.
Very nice close-up!
I beautiful flower! I thought it was an orchid at first.
You neglected to mention that the grow fast and need trimming frequently. When cut, the stalks ooze a white, milky sap that irritates the skin.
Oleanders keep lots of gardeners employed, as they would grow more than 30 feet (10 meters) tall if left untrimmed.
It has a spiral look to the petals from center.
So pretty Julie!
Gorgeous close up of such a pretty flower. You wouldn't expect something so beautiful to be so easy to grow.
I have hear of them and I've heard they smell wonderful. I'd imagine they wouldn't do well in our climate here in the Pacific Northwest.
Strange but nice!
I must say I never paid attention to the heart of the oleander's flower... shame on me...
A terrific picture!
It really is a perfect photo and I wonder if "White Oleander" herself has seen it?
Thank you for that peaceful picture in the middle of the night.
Please have you all a wonderful Wednesday.
We grow oleanders here but I've never seen one so beautiful - with the white centre. I seem to think the white ones I've seen have a different colour centre. Perhaps my memory isn't working - not in flower at the moment, of course.
Beautiful shot..I love the lighting. They are poisonous, though - so beware.
