Caption: Nerium oleander near Galveston Orphans Home Marker
Additional Description: Yellow Nerium oleanders are somewhat unusual. This one is beside the marker. Galveston is the oleander city. The International Oleander Society is located in Galveston. In 1841 Mrs. Isadore Dyer's (a Galveston resident) brother-in-law brought her oleander plants from Jamaica. Galveston believes this was the introduction of oleanders into the U.S. This yellow flower may be a Sue Hawley Oakes named after the lady who bread this unusual variety.
