Guest guest Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 Hello, I am new to this group. My mother has been diagnosed with cancer and we are interested in adding the oleander soup to her present anti-cancer treatment. (She has refused chemo and radiation) My BIG problem seems to be GETTING an oleander plant. So far everyone I have talked to doesn't even know what it is. We do live in a rather remote area of Southeastern British Columbia so there are not a lot of nurseries to choose from. Due to the time of year, they are not ordering any plants until spring. HELP! Are there any Canadians in this group who can direct me to an online source, store or anything? My present search for the past 2 hours is not getting me anywhere. Thanks in advance for any info or help. Keep smiling, Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 Hello Lisa, I had problems finding the Oleander plant myself.. I live in Montreal and I contacted a private nursery (the guy grows all the plants in his house) I got a small plant though, not many leafs left to cut off otherwise I would send you some..you can check the website and maybe he will ship you another plant if he has.. http://www.floraexotica.ca/ If he doesnt maybe someone from the group can be nice enough to ship some leafs...

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 Thank you! I have contacted him and he does have some in stock. In the meantime I found a nursery in a nearby town that has a yellow oleander but I believe the yellow oleander is thevetia peruviana and not nerium oleander. Can someone tell me if the yellow oleander can be used. I am thinking not but thought I would ask anyway. Can someone please let me know.
