Botanical Name:Adenium obesum | Common Name: Desert Rose
About This Plant
The Desert Rose is one of the most exotic and eye-catching flowering succulents you can grow indoors. Native to the Sahel regions of Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, Adenium obesum is prized for its dramatically swollen, sculptural trunk (called a caudex), glossy green leaves, and stunning trumpet-shaped blooms that range from deep pink and red to white. It thrives in warm, sunny conditions and rewards patient growers with spectacular seasonal flowers that look almost too vivid to be real.

Alocasia Variegated Frydek Brandie Perry
The plant did not arrive in great shape. However, it was an alocasia and I did not add insulation so this is not on the seller (and we all know alocasia does not travel well anddddd they come back)
From start to finish the transaction was amazing. They gave me a discount for my next order even though I didn't ask for one because I knew the risks, and they continued to answer my questions and help me! Will def order again from them and would encourage others to as well!
