Dan & others, Check out some of the cool cultivars in this forum. Scroll down. I've seen white but some of these are really awesome. http://www.thefloweringgarden.com/adenium.htm

ceherzog, you're right, white flowered A. obesum. I didn't know they could be white also.

I'm thinking that is a white flowering species of Adenium obesum, Desert Rose. I'll do a little research. Same plant family as Plumeria, Alice.

A type of Plumeria. I had a bush like that until our cold winter.
