Adenium obesum
( Desert Rose )
A succulent houseplant with thick stems and leathery leaves. It is related to, and usually grafted onto an oleander plant. Flowers are white with reddish pink rims. Often blooms twice in a year. Feed cactus food every 3 weeks from spring to fall. In nature it often develops very odd shapes with highly swollen lower stems. - backyardgardener
I have two of these from the Leu Gardens plant sale over the years. The winter this year really took a toll and I need to research what to do to make them flurish again.
The University of Florida Extention has some great information and I think this weekend I'm going to replant them and see what I can do.
