dumb question... maybe. Oleander?

[sputnut]

I have been to Hawaii, Kauai anyway, and have seen a lot of pics from there, and have read a lot on here, but have to ask...why don't I see oleander? I found a few references to it on here, but all negative. They are beautiful and fragrant and Yes, poisonous. I don't eat them, I look at them and smell them. Don't they grow well on the east side? On the mainland they are usually fodder for worms and aphids, how about there?

comin' your way soon!
