I think Bellatrix Lestrange would be an oleande. These flowers are able to survive in differing climates and they can thrive with varying amounts of water. I think this speaks to the strength and loyalty that Bellatrix always displayed for Voldemort. Even in her trial she refused to renounce her loyalty to Voldemort and was able to survive the conditions in Azkaban long enough to return to him.

The oleander is a beautiful flower that comes in several colors and is often used in ornamentation. However, its beauty can be deceptive to those who don't know of its most infamous quality. The oleander is an extremely poisonous plant that is lethal to both animals and humans. Bellatrix was a powerful witch who tortured and killed indiscriminately--going so far as to torture pureblooded Frank and Alice Longbottom and killing her own cousin Sirius Black.

OMGOSH! That really fits. I didn't think about it, but... SO GLAD YOU DID!

The way you relate the plant to Bellatrix is absolutely beautiful. I don't know of any other way to describe it. It fits so well that I... yeah.

Bellatrix Lestrange is definitely oleander. DEFINITELY.

Oh this is perfect! A poisonous beauty definitely fits Bellatrix best.

I dont think there is a more perfect match for Bellatrix than this. You related her traits to each aspect of the flower so well - I never would have thought to use something like thriving on different amounts of water to strength and loyalty.

I ink that this fits really well. People sometimes forget about her beauty because she is so crazy, but I think if you didn't know who she was, you could be deceived. She is definitely very poisonous and dangerous to those around her.
