An archival premium Quality Art Print of a single bloom of the Desert Rose with a black background, making a striking picture for sale by Brandywine General Store. The desert rose or Adenium is a genus of flowering plants in the dogbane family of Apocynacae. Adeniums are grown as house plants and are well known for their unusual thick caudices and their beautiful colorful flowers. They will live a long time in pots and are frequently used for bonsai works. The sap of these flowers is poisonous and is used in Africa as poison on arrow tips to kill big game. In tropical climates this is an evergreen or drought resistant succulent shrub, but will lose all of its leaves in cooler climates. The Adenium can grow up to 10 feet in height.
