Looking for Orange flower

Marica 7 high Sierra's Ca 4,000ft

I have bought 3 grafted obesum's that stating in the pic they were mostly orange. This is for a gift to a friend. Most are more pink then orange. It is frustrating. Does anybody know of a reliable orange flower?

I sent pics to the sellers and got my money back , But that is not what I really wanted.

Marica,

I do not believe there is a true "Orange" colored obesum bloom. There are some which may show an Orange color in photo's, but if you look closely at the photo and subsequent surroundings (leaves, pots, etc.) they too are usually enhanced to show more orange tones.

Rinoa has a few which come close, but the same can be said w some of these.

David Clulow showed a Photo of his "Coral Angel" from Rinoa and it held the pure "Peach" color shown in catalogue.

I thought that would be true with orange. It seems that way in many flowers not just Adenium. Riona's was one that did not turn orange. She was great about it. Good thing orange was not for me, only a gift.

Marica, I would love to own orange obesum too. So far, not yet.

I have seen a peachish edge, but have never seen genuine un edited pure peach or orange

This is Rinoa's "Coral Angel" and David Clulow's plant he got from her was exactly as photo. Beautiful.
