Adenium obesum - Desert Rose,

These flowers are rather popular amongst the older folks. During Chinese New Year, they are considered to be lucky to have in your garden. Colours of the flowers vary from plant to plant. This particular pot in my neighbours garden was of such a brilliant shade of red that even though I am not particularly fond of this plant, I was drawn like a magnet by the colour in the bright sunshine.

Adenium obesum - Desert Rose

Sultry as the Bollywood beauty
torn between two Bollywood hunks
Aiyoh, she shot one of them dead
Her grey eyes deeply hurt
as she watched him fall
and said she loved him
How could that be really?
This is Bollywood flick modelled after
Hollywood glam
How could this be?
Why am I even bothered with this trash
while I wait for the Taiwanese soap 'Love'
I guess sometimes in our lives we have a desert
and we need a rose or a few roses
to feed our senses while we live
like couch potatoes sometimes
This is one of those times.
