I have had this plant for a few years. A friend of mine gave it to me and he also doesn't know what it is. I've asked everyone if they've had any idea when they're over, but no luck.

Does anyone have any idea?

Thanks in advance!!

I'm not that familiar with houseplants but it looks like a Desert Rose (Adenium obesum) to me.

Thank you so much for taking the time to respond. Yes, I believe that's what it is.

Thanks!

That's the neatest form on a Desert Rose I've ever seen. This is one of my all time favorite plants. Here in the midwest they are very hard to come by, which makes it more of a novelty. I've been to Florida where Wal Mart has hundreds of them. Mine is 20 years old, but nowhere near as exotic-looking as yours.
