Plant ID? (not an orchid)
Anyone know the name of this plant? I found in Turks & Caicos when I was on vacation last week.

It looks somewhat like FrangiPangi (Plumeria) to me. I know it comes in different colors.

It's called Desert Rose (Adenium obesum). Just google it.

That's a Desert Rose Damien. They're all over here in Fla.! The one in your pic is called, "Moonlight Fairy."

Patticake,
The Desert Rose makes a nice house plant. Some people even use them for bonsai.
