Adenium
Adenium is a genus of flowering plants in the Apocynum family, Apocynaceae, first described as a genus in 1819. It is native to Africa and to the Arabian Peninsula.
Cultivation and uses
Adenium obesum is grown as a houseplant in temperate regions. Numerous hybrids have been developed. Adeniums are appreciated for their colorful flowers, but also for their unusual, thick caudices. They can be grown for many years in a pot and are commonly used for bonsai.
Because seed-grown plants are not genetically identical to the mother plant, desirable varieties are commonly propagated by grafting. Genetically identical plants can also be propagated by cutting. However, cutting-grown plants do not tend to develop a desirable thick caudex as quickly as seed-grown plants.
The sap of Adenium boehmianum, A. multiflorum, and A. obesum contains toxic cardiac glycosides and is used as arrow poison throughout Africa for hunting large game.
Classification
The genus Adenium has been held to contain as many as twelve species. These are considered by other authors to be subspecies or varieties. A late-20th-century classification by Plazier recognizes five species.

Thrown Like Dice

Don't think about the opposite,
You laugh,
Don't think about stuff beyond it,
You take,
Don't think about the opposite,
You live,
Too late to think of opposite
Take down, that's what I'm coming to do, (Pull)
And when I've done that, then I'm coming for you, (Cry)
To show what I mean, with my eye that is green, (Give)
To show I'll fuck you up 'cause I know what I mean (Die)
