    Hello,
    Here are 2 plants for which I would like to know the name :
    1st one has the upper leaves colored in red, looking like a flower. It was growing wild but it might be an introduced plant ?
    2nd was growing in a pot and fairly common in properties (in pots too). It looks like a reduced boab.
    Thank you for your help

    First is most likely a Euphorbia sp. Second looks like an Adenium.
