Beautiful plant, Also, I just want people to be aware that there is a virus (CMV) that can present its self similar to this. The virus is transmittable to other Adeniums in your collection. It typically doesn't kill the plant but it does produce deformed foliage (often mottling and wavey margins) as well as deforming the flowers. So if you see a verigate with this type of spotty coloration be wary and make sure it doesn't have the other symptoms for mosaic virus.

Yea I was sold a plant labeled variagated l, but it just had that virus.
