Pachypodium eburneum
(This plant comes in a 3.5 inch pot. You will receive a very similar plant to the one in the picture. It may or may not be blooming at the time of your purchase. The plant is shipped in its pot to prevent any damage to the roots).
Flowers: Large, showy, ivory colored with a yellow tint in the center throat.
Cultivation and propagation: They seem to be rot-prone under less than ideal conditions and care. Water sparingly and give extra well-drained soil to avoid waterlogged conditions. It is best not to let this plant dry out completely for any length of time. It is sensitive to cold and should be kept warm at all times. It tends to lose its leave and go dormant in winter when watering should be reduced to a minimum. It likes full sun.

United StatesI only look at it.
United StatesWhen I opened the package I noticed right away that the medium was bone dry. Also the seedling itself was skinny, shriveled, and wiggly/loosely potted in its medium. When i ordered it I knew it was going to be tiny but thought it would have a round bulbous body so this was kinda disappointing. Hopefully i can rehabilitate it and get it in shape. Overall i think i just got a bad one, i have seen reviews on their other pachypods and they look great. This one not so much.
United StatesReceived three healthy plants in good condition.
United StatesGot FOUR of them growing just fine! Strong and healthy.
United StatesVery good.
