Desert Rose (Adenium obesum)

My Nanna's beloved desert rose that has grown strong and healthy over the past two years.


Besides the unmistakably beautiful flower that blossoms from this plant, it is also distinguished by it's large caudices that hold the plant's water supply. This ornamental plant is a type of succulent that is perfect for Hawai'i hot dry weather. It needs little maintenance as far as watering goes which is great. The Desert Rose has beautiful flowers that have hot pink tips and a pastel pink inner color. This is also a very expensive and prized ornamental plant to own.
