Type: article
Abstract: This is an educational poster that explores the historical, cultural, and botanical significance of Nerium oleander in Hiroshima, Japan. After the atomic bombing on August 6, 1945, oleander was the first plant to bloom, symbolizing hope, resilience, and nature’s regenerative power. The poster combines archival and contemporary photographs with brief notes on the plant’s adaptability, environmental tolerance, and toxicity, illustrating how a single flowering shrub became an enduring emblem of renewal.
