My younger desert rose is blooming. It's actually taller than my 10 year old plant, but doesn't have the big caudex. Photo taken Aug. 26, 2014.

Yes, this plant must have full, very hot sun. Remember: this is truly a desert plant.

Thanks! I purchased it last summer. It was very cheap and tall. My other Adenium species (I can't remember the name) is blooming, also.

Thanks Delonix. I have them in full, very hot sun....still no flowers. Maybe next summer.
I found one for sale...beautiful flowers but I'm going to wait for my five to bloom.

Typically, they bloom very young...only around two years old.
My 10 year old plant has a big seed pod. I may grow some from seed...as most are grown from seed. It is extremely difficult to grow this plant from cuttings.

It's not so bad. I just put the cutting into the dry soil here...this spot the sap from running.
