Adeniums are popular ornamental plants appreciated for their beautiful flowers, striking appearance, and ability to adapt to dry, desert-like conditions. Here's an overview:
Adenium (Desert Rose or Sabi Star):
Adenium plants are characterized by their thick, swollen trunk (caudex) that stores water, allowing them to survive in drought-prone environments. They have glossy, dark green leaves and produce showy, trumpet-shaped flowers in various colors, including shades of pink, red, white, and purple. The flowers often have distinct markings and contrasting throat colors, making them visually striking.
