Aww, thank you @Rainbow!

Yes @Gigi that is the plant I found when we bought this house ... it's sitting out on our pool deck with two others. I don't get blooms often but I know it's because I'm not the best caretaker; I never seem to get around to feeding any of my plants. *Blush*

I'm in love with those yellow blooms and the pure white. I spotted a sickly looking white Adenium at Home Depot a couple of weeks ago and I almost bought it but then decided to pass. I think if I ever see another white one I will buy it.

I'm the same way Lin. I enjoy looking at Rick and KD's blooms and others because mine just have plenty of beautiful leaves :).

Thank You! Rick, I think that is a dwarf one. I've had it for 3 years and it is only over a foot tall. It has never been trimmed. The caudex is fat but short.

Sorry to hear that Kadie. I'm not very familiar who Sharon Brown was but may she rest in peace.

Great tribute to name a seedling in her name.

My Adenium boehmianum put out a blossom recently. Beautiful flower but no leaves. I keep the plant happy all summer with leaves and growing but no flowers. And here is this surprise at the end of the season.

The reason it's so hard to lose weight when you get up in age is because your body and your fat have become good friends.

Very pretty bloom, helenchild! I like the dark throat. Lovey dubby

Pray tell, what is the caudiciform plant next to the A. boehmianum?
