Botanical name: Adenium obesum Family: Apocynaceae (Oleander family)
A member of the same botanical family as Frangipani, Adenium is sometimes also
called Japanese Frangipani. A small treelet, mostly grown in
pots, Adenium can reach the height of about 1 meter. The Desert Rose is a
native of East Africa. It has
fleshy leaves and beautiful 2-inch pink open-trumpet shaped flowers. It is a
succulent, and forms more of a bush than a tree. It will be an indoor bonsai
in all but the warmest climates. Needs little water during winter, especially
when kept cool.
