Welcome Dear Photography Lovers
Bienvenidos Queridos Amantes de la Fotografía
Siempre es un placer estar de vuelta con ustedes, y compartir un poco de mi colección de fotografías de flores, los que son asiduos visitantes de mi blog, habrán notado que no solo me gustan las flores, me fascinan. Curiosamente, las imágenes de la flor que hoy les comparto, tuve el placer de encontrarla en un ámbito no muy natural, ya que, fue en una exposición de bonsái en un centro comercial.
It is always a pleasure to be back with you, and share a little of my collection of photographs of flowers, those who are regular visitors to my blog, you may have noticed that I not only like flowers, they fascinate me. Curiously, the images of the flower that I share with you today, I had the pleasure of finding it in a not very natural environment, since it was in a bonsai exhibition in a shopping mall.
Tiene casi un año que tomé estas fotografías, en septiembre del año pasado para ser más exacta. Estaba pasando unos maravillosos días de vacaciones junto a mi familia en la Isla de Margarita, Venezuela. Mientras recorríamos el centro comercial Costa Azul, descubrí que tenían una exposición de bonsái, por supuesto, no me pude contener y mientras mis hijas y esposito continuaron su recorrido, me detuve y aproveché de tomar unas pocas fotografías.
It's almost a year ago that I took these pictures, last September to be more exact. I was spending some wonderful vacation days with my family in Margarita Island, Venezuela. While we were walking around the Costa Azul shopping mall, I discovered that they had a bonsai exhibition, of course, I couldn't help myself and while my daughters and hubby continued their tour, I stopped and took the opportunity to take a few pictures.
Rosa del Desierto es uno de los nombres comunes con los que se le conoce a esta planta de coloridas y hermosas flores, oriunda del este y sur tropical y subtropical de África y Arabia. Otros de los nombres con los que se le conoce de forma popular a esta especie arbustiva son Sabi Star, Kudu y Rosa de Invierno, aunque su nombre científico es Adenium obesum. La familia botánica a la que pertenece este arbusto de tipo perennifolio suculento es la Apocynaceae, siendo el género Adenium el que la incluye entre su lista de especies.
Desert Rose is one of the common names for this colorful and beautiful flowering plant, native to the tropical and subtropical east and south of Africa and Arabia. Other popular names for this shrubby species are Sabi Star, Kudu and Winter Rose, although its scientific name is Adenium obesum. The botanical family to which this succulent evergreen shrub belongs is the Apocynaceae, being the genus Adenium the one that includes it among its list of species.
Como pueden apreciar en algunas de las imágenes que les comparto, esta planta posee un tronco significativamente grueso en comparación con sus delgadas ramas, este puede llegar a medir hasta 2 metros de diámetro. Esta peculiaridad se debe, a que al ser una planta suculenta el tronco es donde mantiene sus reservas de agua, las cuales, son precisamente las que le permiten sobrevivir a largos períodos de sequía que caracterizan su hábitat natural.
As you can see in some of the images, I share with you, this plant has a significantly thick trunk compared to its thin branches, this can measure up to 2 meters in diameter. This peculiarity is due to the fact that being a succulent plant, the trunk is where it keeps its water reserves, which are precisely those that allow it to survive long periods of drought that characterize its natural habitat.
Es una planta de crecimiento lento, que puede llegar a alcanzar cuando mucho los 3 metros de altura, lo que lo hace muy atractivo para ser usado como árbol ornamental. Además, su singularmente grueso tronco, le da el peculiar aspecto de un pequeño árbol, por lo que es muy frecuentemente usado para ser criado como bonsái.
It is a slow growing plant, which can reach at most 3 meters in height, which makes it very attractive to be used as an ornamental tree. In addition, its uniquely thick trunk gives it the peculiar appearance of a small tree, so it is very often used to be raised as bonsai.
Por otro lado, sus ramas son proporcionalmente muchísimo más son delgadas que el tronco, poseen un peculiar color grisáceo y un follaje generalmente no muy abundante. Las hojas son simples, de forma ovaladas y poseen una consistencia dura, llegan a medir entre 5 y 15 cm de largo, por entre 1 y 8 cm de ancho. Normalmente, se desarrollas en torno a las ramas, en pequeños grupos dispuestas en forma de espiral.
On the other hand, its branches are proportionally much thinner than the trunk, have a peculiar grayish color and foliage generally not very abundant. The leaves are simple, oval in shape and have a hard consistency, they measure between 5 and 15 cm long and between 1 and 8 cm wide. Normally, they develop around the branches, in small groups arranged in a spiral shape.
Sus hermosas y vistosas flores se desarrollan en los extremos de las ramas, sus colores varían entre el blanco, rojo y rosa, y en el caso de estos dos últimos, regularmente presentan vetas blancas. Poseen forma tubular llegando a medir entre 2 y 5 cm de largo y consta de 5 pétalos que le permite alcanzar un diámetro que oscila entre los 4 y 6 cm de diámetro.
Its beautiful and showy flowers develop at the ends of the branches, its colors vary between white, red and pink, and in the case of the latter two, regularly have white streaks. They are tubular in shape and can measure between 2 and 5 cm long and have 5 petals that allow them to reach a diameter of between 4 and 6 cm in diameter.
Por último, un dato curioso sobre la Rosa del desierto, es que en Tanzania utilizaban la savia que destila esta planta, la cual, es sumamente tóxica, para recubrir la punta de las flechas que usaban para cazar. Bueno, queridos lectores y amantes de la naturaleza, solo me queda despedirme, esperando que las imágenes e información que les comparto de esta hermosa planta haya sido de su agrado. Muy especialmente, espero les guste a @bucipuci, @adalger y todo el equipo de trabajo de @dna y @amazingnature, ya que, es mi entrada para el concurso de esta semana, en el cual, si quieren participar, pueden acceder dando clip, al siguiente link Amazing Nature Contest: FREE TOPIC - #4/8/23. Mis mejores deseos bienestar y salud para todos, Dios los bendiga. Hasta la Próxima.
Finally, a curious fact about the Desert Rose is that in Tanzania they used the sap distilled from this plant, which is highly toxic, to coat the tip of the arrows they used for hunting. Well, dear readers and nature lovers, it only remains for me to say goodbye, hoping that the images and information that I share with you about this beautiful plant have been to your liking. I especially hope that @bucipuci, @adalger and the whole team of @dna and @amazingnature like it, since it is my entry for this week's contest, in which, if you want to participate, you can access by clicking on the following link Amazing Nature Contest: FREE TOPIC - #4/8/23.

We know this plant locally as the impala lily (Adenium multiflorum) looks like a miniature baobab tree. Very pretty flower, makes for a great bonsai plant.
I have one in the garden although I don't think it is totally suitable in our humid climate.
Hello welcome, Adenium multiflorum is a subspecies of Adenium obesum. I imagine that it must be a kind of hybrid that supports colder and more humid climates, because the obesum requires a warm and dry climate to develop well. A few years ago I had a plant in my garden, but it never bloomed and with time it dried up. I didn't know how to take care of it and it didn't get enough sun and I think I also watered it a lot. Now I know, that it is the perfect combination to lead this plant irretrievably to death. Grateful for your visit, I wish you an excellent week and many blessings for you and yours 🙏
Succulents of any variety I plant directly into the soil and leave for them to fend for themselves, they really don't need water, most do love the direct sun during some part of the day.
This photo was 2014 still establishing the plant in a pot before planting into the garden.
Impala lily is under awning of the roof, only driving rain enters the area or it gets some water from the air conditioning unit during the heat of Summer.
