Frangipani flower | Adenium obesum

in Nature Observer9 days ago

Look, there is someone blooming beautifully among the thick branches. The beautiful figure is called a frangipani flower or in Latin it is known as Adenium obesum. One of the beautiful flowers that comes from the Apocynaceae family. Its striking color, from a distance I have seen it. Bright red decorated with white and yellow in the middle, if you look closely it looks like there is a small sun there that is shining softly.

Not only are the flowers attractive, the leaves also display their beauty that looks firm and shiny green. Although there are some leaves that have started to turn yellow and dry at the tips, it is a sign of change, a natural process for changing leaves. The stem also looks slightly swollen which is also an attraction for the plant. Judging from its charming beauty, this one plant is always a champion.

There is one more thing you need to know, besides having a charming appearance, this flower has a very fragrant, but light aroma. This flower emits its aroma when the sun sets until the sun shines again. To enjoy the aroma, come at that time.

Beautiful frangipani. This type of flowers that perfume in the evenings usually have a simple appearance but their aroma is always vibrant and exquisite.

Simple yet very alluring. As for the aroma, it varies depending on the species, as I captured it has a light scent.

I didn't know that the aroma varies according to the flower. It is very interesting all this that you share. And for that I thank you .

The green leaves turning yellow also gives a vibrant kind of beauty to the flower.

Yes, that's right. The leaves that are starting to turn yellow give us beauty as well as a code of the process of change, slow but sure.
