Beautiful, Hetty. Love the color and a fan of single star shaped blooms. The long Lance shaped leaves with the wave (somewhat like Swazicum can) are great.

Isn't that funny, my Sakda is blooming too. Doesn't bloom repeatedly like obesums. I think it has other genes.

In full sun, it's mostly pink.

Oh I love the Sakdas!!! Are they a adenium also??
I hate losing plants....I know they are "just plants" but when you nurse them along and baby them and get them to grow, bloom, and be pretty and they die....it's like losing a friend..... Crying

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.
