This plant is called with the common name of desert rose or desert flower and its scientific name is Adeniun Obesum. It’s blooming in the garden of a relative and I took the opportunity to take pictures of it.
It is a perennial plant that is cultivated in tropical and subtropical climates. In my country it is used as an ornamental plant and it is very easily seen between the islands of two roads in the avenues because it can measure from 1 to 2 meters. It is very sought after to make bonsais, Japanese technique to keep a tree in its minimum expression in a small pot and still maintains its flowering and thick stem as a regular sized tree.
The flowers are red or strong pink or soft pink tinged with white color. Like this one I have brought today, it has about 5 open petals that reveal its lovely color.
This plant does not need large amounts of liquid as do the cacti although it does not belong to this group but to the caudiform plants.
It’s propagated by seeds or by small branches of the plant, I want to say that although it is very pretty, I have never been interested in propagating it, maybe in the near future I will do it and I will see how its production turns out. In the meantime, please enjoy these beautiful flowers.
Thanks for your comments and votes.
