A couple of weeks ago I posted about my two year old Adenium seedling finally getting it's first bloom. At the time I figured that it was a standard "classic Adenium Obesum" as someone suggested I call it, but it bloomed today, and that's certainly not the blossom type that I am seeing here. There seems to be no pink in this bloom and it's all red, down to the point where it becomes white. The edges are so dark as to be black. It's so velvety!! For me, this was a surprise and made the wait so much worth it!

I don't know a lot about Adeniums beyond that I love them and what it takes to keep mine alive, so if any of you learned folks out there can offer up any ID suggestions about this one I would sure be appreciative. I'm very excited about it and I personally think it's rather special. Maybe it's because I waited so long and nursed it back from rot and near death that makes me that way. What can I say.

Thanks so much in advance for any help you can give.
