Adenium obesum (Desert Rose) is a striking, sun-loving succulent shrub featuring a swollen, bottle-shaped trunk (caudex) and vibrant, trumpet-shaped flowers in shades of pink, red, and white. Growing 0.12–5 m tall, these plants have shiny, leathery leaves and are ideal for xeriscaping or as dramatic bonsai, thriving in warm, well-draining garden spots.
