We're more fascinated with the swollen base (caudex) than the flowers! :D

This desert rose

Each of her veils, a secret promise

This desert flower

No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this

 

And as she turns

This way she moves in the logic of all my dreams

This fire burns

I realize that nothing's as it seems

 

I dream of rain

I dream of gardens in the desert sand

I wake in vain

I dream of love as time runs through my hand

 

I dream of rain

I lift my gaze to empty skies above

I close my eyes

This rare perfume is the sweet intoxication of her love

 

Omry feek antia

Ma ghair antia

(My life is for you

And no one other than you)

Adenium obesum, a native of Kenya

Adenium obesum, Desert Rose, at Koko Crater Botanical Garden Apocynaceae

Adenium obesum is a poisonous species of flowering plant belonging to tribe Nerieae of subfamily Apocynoideae of the dogbane family, Apocynaceae, that is native to the Sahel regions, south of the Sahara (from Mauritania and Senegal to Sudan), and tropical and subtropical eastern and southern Africa and Arabia. Common names include Sabi star, kudu, mock azalea, impala lily and desert rose.

It is an evergreen or drought-deciduous succulent shrub (which can also lose its leaves during cold spells, or according to the subspecies or cultivar). It can grow to 1–3 m (3.3–9.8 ft) in height, with pachycaul stems and a stout, swollen basal caudex.

Adenium obesum is a popular houseplant and bonsai in temperate regions. It requires a sunny location and a minimum indoor temperature in winter of 10 °C (50 °F).

4 seedlings repotted.

Adenium multiflorum is small, succulent tree native to central and eastern Southern Africa. Like other members of the succulent Apocynaceae family, A. multiflorum has a milky latex with toxic alkaloids, specifically Cardiac glycosides . This latex is used as an arrow poison and as a fish stunning poison.

 

It is sometimes treated as a variety or subspecies of Adenium obesum

Com um botão de flor bem formado, em breve terei novamente flores por um bom tempo.

Second set of leaves is pinched to encourage the growth of the caudex and more branching. The clear sap from the wound can be seen.
