Tropical Beauty

At Beacon Point, a vigorous purple allamanda, an evergreen sarmentose shrub [having runners, long, slender stems which take root along the ground], a genus of flowering plants in the periwinkle, dogbane, or oleander family, Apocynaceae, with – as in many other plants of this family – a thick, milky, toxic sap: all parts of allamandas are poisonous if ingested To all who visit and view, and – especially – express support and satisfaction: you are much appreciated!
