Quick species question?

[Jo Ann]

I have A Desert Rose (Adenium Obesum) I've been seeing some websites that seem to suggest that that it is either related to the Baobab tree or is the Baobab? Could someone please elaborate?

Baobab is adansonia.. different but related to desert rose. They need a lot of light.. I moved mine from a window to underneath fluorescent lighting and it' s much happier. This is the care site I see quoted most often http://www.tropicanursery.com/adenium/cultivation.htm

To clarify I don't actually know if they are related to baobab but care is similar.
