Adenium Multiflorum

Adenium multiflorum is often listed as a variety of A. obesum, but is quite different in many ways. It is probably the second most commonly available form. It generally has a more slender trunk than A. obesum, and it has an obligatory, deciduous, winter dormancy. It generally blooms for 3-4 months in winter, while leafless. The flowers are abundant and possibly the most striking of the entire group. The petals are edged in a bright red band of varying widths which is sharply delimited from the white inner parts.
