This is a picture of the Adenium Obesum flower which is also called the Desert Rose. It originated from Africa and the Middle East, therefore it got the name, however it is not a rose. This plant grows in hot and tropical climates and do not need an excessive amount of watering. In Africa, the root sap is used in arrow poison. It's bark extract can be used to kill lice.
All in all, this is quite an interesting plant, don't you think?
Thanks for reading my blog!
