Desert Rose is a common name for Adenium obesum, a flowering succulent plant that is also called Sabi star, mock azalea or impala lily. A native of Africa, it is a popular outdoor ornamental plant in warmer climates where sunshine is abundant, as in Florida, USA, where this 10-year-old shrub is growing in a small container. Deep pink and red are the dominant colors of the plant's beautiful 5-petal bell-shaped blossoms. Take note that milky sap from desert rose plants is toxic and considered poisonous to humans and animals.
