Oleander flower garland

Nerium oleander garland

The traditional method of making a thick garland  with these flowers.  I have used pink oleander .  This method results in such a dense garland that it is a feast to the eyes.  I am sure you will love it.

We can add artificial flowers  also at the centre of the garland

Oleander is called arali poo in Tamil or vice versa arali is called oleander in English.  This garland can be offered to deities in temples particularly Amman, Lakshmi  temples.  We can also use for Pooja decorations for Dasara and Varamahalakshmi Habba.  It can also be used for natural flower craft projects or ideas.
