The Lucky Nut Tree, scientifically known as Thevetia peruviana, is commonly found in various parts of India. It is also referred to as “Pila Kaner” or “Yellow Oleander” in Hindi. This evergreen shrub or small tree is valued for its attractive yellow or peach-colored flowers and is often cultivated for ornamental purposes in gardens and landscapes.
However, it’s important to note that the flowers are captivatingly beautiful yet the plant harbors hidden dangers. It is highly toxic and should be handled with caution. As with many things in life, it’s a reminder to appreciate beauty while also being aware of potential risks.
A beautiful but poisonous tree.

Is this the same flower?
My neighbor had it in his garden once and I took many photos of the blooming flowers, almost every day.
