Nerium oleander (Family: Apocynaceae; common name: Oleander)
Oleanders are very common in Greece and are used as decorative plants everywhere - even in the highways. In the first photo the flower is lighted by the sun which is behind it, creating an aerie feeling. In the second shot the flower is lightened by the flash unit revealing much more detail but has less "warmth".
