Desert Rose 🌹
This flowering plant is called Adenium obesum, but it is more commonly known as a desert rose. Technically it is actually not a rose, but a succulent and also a poisonous one. The plant in the picture is in my garden. I have it in the planter. I had it for about 5+ years. One year it almost died and I had to prune it a bit in hopes of bringing it back to life. After reading about how all parts of this plants are highly toxic to dogs, cats, horses, and humans, I had to be extra careful with by wearing goggles and gloves. Although, later I have seen some videos on YouTube of people handling this plant with no protection whatsoever......hmm....
Anyhow, the flowers are very pretty and the plants as a whole looks like a little bonsai tree, so I am definitely keeping it despite its problematic nature.
