Thanks everyone! :>)

I'm working on trying get this plant to fill out more. I think it needs a larger terra cotta pot.

Thanks! I can't wait until my Adenium 'Ice Pink' blooms. It has only a couple of flowers on it now. Hopefully, next month it will bloom!

Here's a photo of what's to come in July. Although, last year it bloomed very late because we had the coolest summer in almost 100 year (daytime temps only averaged 83ºF/28ºC for inland San Diego).

Thanks! Yes, it's very stunning. There's several varieties that have become available over the last few years. The one I really want to eventually get is, the purple flowering Adenium.

Yes, the purple variety is very stunning. I had an opportunity to purchase one about 3 years ago (it was on the bargain bench a local nursery) I can kick myself for not purchasing it!
