impala lily

The impala lily, scientifically known as Adenium multiflorum, is a succulent-stemmed shrub native to southern Africa. It belongs to the Apocynaceae family and is recognized for its striking pink and white flowers that appear after its leaves have fallen.1

While the term "lily" can refer to plants in the genus Lilium, it is also used for other plants that resemble true lilies, such as those in the Amaryllidaceae family. The lily of the Nile (Agapanthus africanus), for instance, is a perennial herbaceous plant from Africa with large, spherical clusters of blue, purple, or white funnel-shaped flowers. True lilies are herbaceous perennials with leafy stems and scaly bulbs, typically found in temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere. They are cultivated for their ornamental value and have been extensively hybridized.23
