I "pinched" a cutting of this plant in a store where it was growing as a potted plant in a demo sunroom. In the store it was a shrub abot 3'x3' with leathery leaves and meaty pink flowers. It was beautiful and could not control my cleptomanic impulses. My 2'' cutting rooted in water and I planted it last winter and had it out on the deck all summer. I did not expect it to bloom this soon, but here it is. It just opened up yesterday and looked as a cup 3 cm in diameter. If I remember correctly flowers open up completely to resembe a shallow plate, but I will only see it today when I return from work. The picture does not give justice to the colors, too. Petals are really nice rose pink and inside is hot pink. I will also get a better pic of the leaves, if ID is going to be difficult. Thanks.
