PACHYPODIUM

Wow, this is the first time I saw the flowers of the Pachypodium. The leaves and flowers remind me so much of the Plumeria species (common name: Frangipanni) and Adenium obesum (common name: Desert Rose), but it shouldn't be a surprise since they are all from the same Family Apocynaceae, apart from its nasty-looking spine-bearing trunk.
