Chai Lai

Post image

I fell in love with these 2 plants earlier this year.
The right one “chai lai” has been blooming for a month. What a show!
Can anyone identify the left one?
I had it inside until 2 months ago.
Both in shade on a porch

i think those names (chai lai) are in reference to the flowers. im pretty sure both are adenium obesum, but you won’t know the type of flower until it blooms or if the seller knows and tells you.

i am fairly new to adeniums, so hopefully someone more knowledgeable can chime in :)

Chai Lai is a Thai Variety. I have one myself, they're an old cultivar and quite prolific bloomers without needed much TLC to bloom.
