Taiwan Hybrid Adenium

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

The Thais have become famous in recent years for their spectacular hybrid creations of many genera. A couple of years ago I was given some seeds of Thai hybrid adeniums. Being seeds of hybrids they would never look exactly like the parent plant, and interesting variations are always possible. This is the first one of my seedlings that bloomed. The bright red flowers with a black edge are similar to some pictures I've seen, but are more dramatic. The only way to get an exact duplicate of this plant would be to graft pieces of it onto other plants. I'm trying to think of a name.
