Beautiful haiku, in our land they call it "Flower of the queen". It is said that we must be careful because it is toxic, but it has healing properties. I know her white and pink.
Thanks!
Oh yeah! This bouquet is known in Venezuela as "Flor de la Reina", but its most widespread name in the world, although it is not the only one, is "oleander" (Nerium oleander), also known as laurel flower, pink laurel, baladre, trinitaria and in some cases as Roman laurel. According to what I researched, it is being used for the treatment of cancer and it has been shown to be effective in pancreatic cancer, although it is still being studied and is warned that it is very poisonous.
Laurel is indeed very poisonous. It makes sense that it would also be poisonous to cancer cells. I assume it is used in chemo. They are such a beautiful flower and deserving of respect for its power.
Thanks, Pryde!
beautiful petals beautifully written, I always love all your haikus and poems congratulations
Thank you, @renegadecesar!
