That's beautiful. Is it an Adenium Obesum? Only two of mine have bloomed so far this year.

I haven't a clue what it is, other than mighty pretty. If someone could name it, that would be great!

Lauri it looks like a desert rose (Adenium Obesum). The bloom looks the same as my desert roses but I can't tell how big the foliage is or if it has a swollen base. They are in the same family as plumeria but are much smaller. Whatever it is it's beautiful.

Karyn, Yes it does have a swollen base. I will get a full picture tomorrow and post it and you can have a look at it. Thanks for the info!

Definitely an Adenium. Great plant! Closely related to plumeria and I think harder to grow...at least for me! I always pick up a new one just to see if I can get it thru another winter!

A friend gave me this plant about six years ago. I never really new what it was. It stayed alive, but never really grew or did anything. Just a stick with leaves. Then this year I happened to put it in a good spot I guess, got a bit more sun, and poof, it got buds, and those buds turned into flowers, and it grew another tip. So now it is a two tip stick with leaves and very pretty flowers, and now I know what it is thanks to you all.

Hi Lauri;

Your Desert Rose (Adenium) is beautiful. Next spring, when it comes out of dormancy, transplant it to a larger pot and plant it up higher. By this, I mean uncover part of the swollen base that is presently beneath the soil line. Add pumice or peralite to the soil to give it good drainage. Add Osmocote to the soil to fertilize it and the plant will reward you by growing a larger base, more shoots and more flowers. The link below will provide a lot of information about these plants.

Oh my gosh, thank you so much! I have looked up Desert Rose and Adenium Obesum and have seen those amazing bases on them. I will most certainly do what you have said, and check out that web site. Thanks so much musarojo!

We are now two, with more on the way. Thanks again you all for letting me know what this wonderful flower really is!
