Adenium Obesum
Known as Desert Rose
also known as
Fat Plant
Gazelle Lily
in common prose

She is a dry land beauty
waxy leaf and trumpet flower
a lovely pink magenta
she needs gentle
desert showers

Her stem is whitish
bare of leaf
she won't thrive in a vase
her root is like a tuber
she's got an
obese base!

Her exquisite blooms
are very large
and though they have no scent
they cover all
The Desert Rose

she is heaven sent!

My father has one of these Desert Rose plants on our front porch. The base is very funny looking and it's like a boojum tree. But the blooms and the leaves are exquisite! I enjoy it very much when I sit out in My Sanctuary. The front porch is where I go to pray.

This is my last day for my formal Camp Wellness classes. Tomorrow is my graduation! I will be doing an open mic tonight... and I have to practice! I won't be on site today obviously. But after this graduation I will be able to read a lot more.

I LOVE AND PRAY FOR YOU ALL!
