My Ice Pink Desert Rose loved the 108F/ 42.2C. high temp on Monday...and has been blooming profusely through our big heat wave for the last 6 days. All my Desert Roses are truly extremely heat tolerant. Unfortunately, not all my plants liked this severe heat so much - and some fried. Photo taken Sept. 27, 2010.

This Desert Rose is just gorgeous. Glad to hear that all the Desert Roses have come through that horrible heat wave.

I was lucky enough to shade many of the potted plants. My potted Plumerias burned pretty badly, but they'll survive. Most of the other plants I put in shade...some leaves were burned anyway. Luckily, everything will survive. It's nothing like in 2008 when we had the hottest Fall in 20 years... I lost many plants to sun burn (let's say I learned my lesson) : > )

Thanks! : >)
They're tolerant of extremely high temps because they're native to the very hot tropical deserts of east Africa.
Although, on Monday all the flowers on this plant were completely wilted in the heat...until it received lots of water.

Adenium is in the same family as Mandevilla - Apocynaceae.
