A Different Rose

My Desert Rose



Like the camel...






she defies the desert sun...



emerging triumphant....





after the drought....





only to be brought to her knees...



by torrential rains...




My Desert Rose

    @ Racquel - Thank you for your kind words, my dear.

    @ Carolyn - This is a plant popular for its root formation above ground...they have interesting shapes.

    @ One - Actually I have 10 plants, but these flowers are from 2 of my best . One of the plants has 3 varieties marcotted on it.

    I am in love with your desert roses and more than a little jealous. Mine never flower that well.

    These are beautiful blooms. I'm just used to seeing the desert rose as a houseplant succulent. It's nice to be able to see it grown naturally outside and see it's potential as a large shrub.
