Desert Rose Adenium Obesum Conservatory of Flowers Cacti & Succulents Special Exhibit 20160529-113248 C4

The Conservatory of Flowers Special Exhibits sign identified this pretty red and white flower as a Desert Rose - Adenium Obesum. We saw this during a visit to the Wild Bunch special exhibit of Succulents - Cacti and Fat Plants, running May 6 through Oct 16, 2016 at the Conservatory of Flowers in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park. According to Wikipedia, the Adenium Obesum is also known as Sabi Star, Kudu, Mock Azelea, Impala Lily, as well as Desert-rose. In any event this pretty flower presented a wonderful photo opportunity during my recent visit to the COF with my bride Melody and our good friend Anita. Shot with my Canon EOS 80D.
