MacroPhotography - Frangipani Flower (Adenium obesum)

Adenium or Cambodia Japan (the name of japanese frangipani is actually misleading because it can be identified with frangipani, which is commonly found in burial area, while the Japanese word frill as if this flower comes from Japan, whereas Adenium comes from West Asia and Africa) dry desert areas, from mainland West Asia to Africa.

The name there is the Desert Rose (desert rose). Because it comes from dry areas, this plant grows better in dry media conditions than it is too wet. Referred to as adenium because one of the places of origin adenium is the region Aden (Yemeni capital).

The Indonesian people call adenium as a japanese frangipani, perhaps associated with the outstanding stereotype. For example, large fruits commonly referred to as Bangkok, whereas small plants are commonly called Japan. Therefore, if long ago there was a frangipani figure of a large tall plant then so there are plants that small but similar figure frangipani, referred to as japanese frangipani.
