Desert Rose

At the time, I was so attracted to this flower that I had take a few exposures. I found out later, after searching the Internet, that this Adenium also has a nick name of "Desert Rose". No wonder why I was so captivated by it. For some reasons, deep down in my mind, the desert always gives me the impression of modest beauties but full of mysterious attractions.
