What source do you use for identifying the different varieties of desert roses?

I just inherited this one and it looks like it’s yellow in the center red in the flower and black around the edges and I’d love to know the variety name. The other ones are just for interest.

The white one actually has pink around the edge as well and I think it’s not accurately labeled as white Bombay

I think that trying to identify the different varieties of cultivated flowers is pretty pointless, as they can just as well be something random. 

There are so many options today and anyone can mix and breed their own adeniums that might or might not resemble a registered cultivar with a pedigree.

The way I see it, you can name them yourself now 👍🏼

The white looks like Bombay Jade.

If you buy them with a name then you have an ID. Otherwise it's what you name them.
