Identifying a Bulbous Plant with Red Blooms: Likely Desert Rose (Adenium)

Mystery Plant ID: Adenium obesum (Desert Rose)

Camilla's plant: bulb on soil surface, 3 stems (13" tall), red-family blooms in summer, brought in for winter.

Best Match

Desert Rose (Adenium obesum) – swollen caudex (bulb), pink-to-red flowers, summer bloomer.

Verification

Google "Adenium obesum" images. If match, Darlene will give care advice. If not, email photo to plantlady6@aol.com with location.

Note: If just brought in, hope you're in a tropical area—Adenium hates cold.
