Absolutely gorgeous KD. I think the second photo is the best to match that of the purchased bloom (purchasing). It shows more clarity and the velvety/sheen of the petals. Actually a better photo of bloom than that in catalogue.
Second photo a bit unclear when I view.

I am not sure if you can add a second photo of same. The first will be the main photo if not already entered. Others secondary.

So many times when viewing photo's of blooms for sale, when yours opens. It depends on at what stage/age of bloom that the photo has been taken. With Rinoa's photo of the bloom the center petals have not unrolled as yet.

A real stunner, KD.

I see more detail in the second photo but I would encourage you to also enter the photo of the buds that you posted earlier also.

Thanks guys, for your nice comments and help in choosing which photos to submit. The bloom had opened in the morning, the center petals hadn't yet unfurled so I waited 'till the afternoon to take pictures.

Thanks Gigi!
I am patiently waiting for Adenium obesum "Gigi" to further develop her tiny buds. Crossing my fingers that she will hold on. The buds look like they might be white flowers...but not positive at this point. Whistling
