Sakda is an Adenium, but with the crinkly leaves, it has a lot of another variety in it, I think crispum, from a different part of Africa than obesum, which is out #1 kind. There are about twelve different types, species, of Adenium
A butterfly was attracted to it. Notice the black object with white spots in top left corner of this photo. A butterfly happened along just as I snapped the first picture. It paused and spread its wings over the throat of the flower--but before I could snap another picture it flew away.
