I think our plants are cousins...


RobertB

That's really gorgeous!

Here's one of mine blooming today! I think I might pack it up once it's finished this flush of bloom and send it to Wilfred. I doubt he has a red like this monster, and I have two others...
.

Love the pure reds!

Some of the best names for reds are, 'Home Run', 'Arrogant' and 'Miss Thailand'. Both looking like RobertB's flower, with a prominent light throat.

The one I have is named 'Udom Sup Niran' or something like that...

And for YELLOW, I have some PORTULACA


.
And for BLUE I have some PLUMBAGO
.

.
And for ORANGE I have a great HIBISCUS!! Wheeeeee!
.

Awesome to see all those blooms on the adenium!! And the orange.... yummy!

Blooming today...




RobertB

Those are all beautiful, wish my name was Wilfred.
Melissa why haven't you posted that Hybiscus, in Cubits

Doris, I never go to Cubits anymore. And I am not much of a hibiscus person, I have a few out in the yard, is all. This one seems to be in a series called Painted Lady. They have very upright blooms, aimed straight at the sky, red, pink, pale pink, and the orange.
.
This is "The Peach". Nice color right when it opens, but bleaches badly when the sun gets to it. Nice dark throat,,,,
.

That is a pretty color.

Peachy!!!

That is lovely. Wish adeniums had a scent... at least my don't seem to. I guess I'm spoiled by my plumeria.. maybe I could cross a.... never mind


RobertB

Robert some do have a sent although most are faint now we believe they will get them to increase in strength in the future but i don't think any where near the plumeria!!

mike

I will have to keep my sniffer open, and that means I get to keep collecting till I come across one I can smell...




I would like one that has a black caudex and pink flowers...
Adenium Arabicum 'Black Giant'

RobertB

I got a Black Giant earlier this year but was disappointed in what the seller sent....

Sorry to hear that Hetty, I would get one off EBay but I'm not sure enough of the sellers to send my money over seas.


RobertB

Hetty was it me who sent you a black giant?

Robert we ordered some very small ones here is a pic of one of the seedlings



this was 5 days after i got it

I got one from you Mike but that wasn't the one I was referring to. I paid big $$$ for one earlier this year that did not live up to its description... win some lose some...

So that will have a black caudex Mike?? If so I'm interested...


RobertB

NO ebay NO ebay NO ebay

I will take care of you if you like i have a list started and i think its time to start a order thread again. the new supplier that Melissa told us about dosnt sell "black giant" that is a siam adenium which we got it threw him last order i placed. its where Robert i got the siam purple you got from me,


2 others are talking about
A.arabicum 1.5-2"caudex :, 2-3" nice form : , 3-4" nice form
A.Thai soco 1.5-2"caudex :

so my biggest problem is quoting shipping i need to get a good idea how many plants would be on the order the larger 3-4" nice form would run between $24-34 mabe less and the smaller would be lot cheaper


i just have no money to place a big order and sell them when i get them like i normally do.

like i said it came from siam adeniums here is the quote on what he saids





I am the one who released and named this hybrid. I am really proud of this one as the first generation of Thai Black Arabicum style.

The special charateristics is black branches and has many joints on every branch especially on the top. The stem skin is very distinctive wrinkle like old elephant's skin. Flower are deep pink to red. Some plants got yellow caudex.

This is the first generation for Black Arabicum tone. Mostly only branches become black and for caudex might be black or dark brown tone.

Leaves are look differentiate from other Arabicum ones. Leaves are curve at the top and fold up. Leave's line are very clear with white or some can have red middle line, leave color is kind of soft green and thicker.
Top branch to top of caudex has many joints and wrinkles like skin of elephant.

This hybrid look similar to another Arabicum: Yak Kaset especially for leaves.

I have used this hybrid to cross with many popular of Thai Arabicum such as RCN, PNW, PMK or etc. The most popular one is "Black RCN". This hybrid is really hard to find and seedlings are very nice with RCN flower matched with black caudex and wrinkle branch.

If you are Arabicum lover, they are very nice to have for your collection. Seedlings are available now.
My first generation of Black Arabicum: Black Giant. The black is just from top branch to top caudex.
Flower is fresh red matched with nice wringkle branch and many joints.

this is directly off their website

A.arabicum looks like something I would like to try... I would take a larger size. 3-4 would nice.
and I would take one of those black giants you have if you want to sell...

RobertB

I will look and let you know
