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.
