What is the significance of the title "White Oleander"?
I've only seen the movie, but I would guess that oleander being a poisonous flower, that the mother was beautiful but poisonous if you got involved with her in anyway.
Reply:The title "White Oleander" comes from the name of an extremely poisonous flower which, although I don't think they actually spell it out in so many word, is the method in which it can be assumed that Ingrid uses to kill her lover. Also, the title comes from the fact that white oleanders are so very beautiful and so very poisonous, as is Ingrid.
