Adenium Arabicum

This plant is similar in appearance to Adenium obesum.

Distinguished most by its outstanding caudex formation.

Adenium arabicum's growth form is always squat and fat with a definite caudex without much differentiation between trunk and branches.

The skin on the plant is also somewhat more colored in purple to dark brown. Flowers range from pink to reddish pink.

The leaves are shiny on the upper and lower surface, unlike Adenium obesum. The flowers are pink to deep red.

Adenium arabicum

This is one of the few Adenium's that did not frezze out two years then we had a cold spell.
It is also one that doesn't flower that often for me.

It does get a bigger base then Adenium obesum but the flowers are a bit smaller.


This is my last post until I get back from  2012 Bromeliad Society International World Bromeliad Conference.
See you their.
