When the atom bomb was dropped on Hiroshima in August of 1945, all forms of life was completely destroyed, besides of course many innocent people. The scientific community were pretty sure that for the next 70 years, nothing will be able to grow, because of the radiation that spread in Japan, even followed by the Nagasaki bomb. However, the following spring, oleander sprouted mysteriously from the ground. Nobody ever expected this miracle. That is why the oleander is considered in Japan as a symbol of power of renewal and regeneration which is found in the mystery of creation. Incidentally oleander grows wild in Malta, without absolutely any care, and they produce pink and white flowers which bloom abundantly and prolifically. There is a feeling among the Maltese people that they also attract cockroaches, but they produce beautiful flowers like the ones I took photos of, seen here above.
