一重咲き桃色キョウチクトウ (Single Pink Flower of Oleander)

　キョウチクトウ（キョウチクトウ科）。2011年7月5日、鈴の宮団地で撮影。白花は一重咲き、桃色は八重咲きが多い、ということだが、これは赤に近い桃色の一重咲きで、珍しいもののようだ。

Oleander; botanical name, Nerium oleander; family, Apocynaceae. The photo was taken in Suzunomiya Estate, July 5, 2010. It is said that white flowers of this plant are mostly single and that pink flowers are mostly double. The one in the above photo seems to be of the rare kind of the single pink (close to red) flower.
