This is what's open here today.


Nothing fancy but still nice to look at 🙂

I disagree, they're all gorgeous! You've got some pure white ones? They look striking, here's hoping I get at least 1 white. And the far left bottom one looks like it has a pure white and then a pink flower towards the bottom?

I have 7 solid white ones that are flowering right now, this one is still recovering from the infestation.

I may have more, I'm not really sure.

with Nancy they all look gorgeous to me Kyle and puts my skinny small 2+ years old seedlings to shame.

Remember "fancy grafts" no matter if they call them rare or fancy has flooded the Adenium market. Yours are all seedgrown so yours are unique. I especially like those 2 top left pink ones and the black skinned ones.

I have just recently got lucky seeing black skinned Adeniums at Home Depot and I snagged them right away I want to cross pollinate them with my doubles. The fat squat arabicums are cute.

You should upload the photos of your arabicums here:

Desert Rose (Adenium obesum 'Fat Guy')

I have a lot of grafted ones but I would definitely

Been busy lately, these are some that got my attention in the last few days...
The first 2 are fatso arabicum, very short plants, last two are multipetalled obesum.

All gorgeous! I don't think I've ever seen a pure yellow one without streaks or splashes of other colors in it either!

Pretty TJoe! I am imagining the contrast on the bloom size of the first 2 arabicums versus the obesum.

I have a similar pure yellow but it doesn't open all the way like that.

I love that subtle yellow on yours, Gigi!

The Arabicum flowers are quite small, around 3cm in diameter, the yellow multi is around 6cm in diameter

So quiet here today! Here's some early morning photos:

Those are all gorgeous, Gigi, the first one is my favorite out of those though.

And I'm guessing we're all busy with spring gardening chores, running around to find plants we want and then planting them. Like I am!

Yes, Chia Lin is a pretty one! I am only posting the happy photos. I lost two big ones again this week. I have so many desert roses I neglect to repot some. And the soil get so compacted and the roots get weaker, unable to take in water. Then when I over compensate with watering plus getting sunburned, the result is fatal.

It's sad to lose any, but two big ones is really painful, sorry, Gigi. I'll admit that's one reason I don't want to get too many to take care of. Although my limit when I first started was 3, then bumped to 5... and now is somewhere like 20 max. I also have to consider how many I have space for to keep going through the winter with grow lights.

I take back all that stuff I said about the local home depot's adenium prices. I went to grab some fertilizer today and they have seed grown desert roses for $9.98 😲

Most were single petal red and white combos but some were purple, a few were multi-petal, and there were even 2 arabicums with flowers in there. They were all about the same size as my year old plants.

Here's a nice purple one 🙂

I really get envious of your Home Depot and Lowe stores there... we have none of that up here.

Kyle, don't tell me you walked away without picking up a couple :lol:

Nancy, I have to avoid going to Home Depot or Lowe's because I have no self control. I literally have to be dragged by the hair so I don't buy.

Madam Violet is in the popular photo:
So I posted her entire beauty here:











Now I am in a panic mode as I don't have a back up of her.

I went there for fertilizer and a light switch and that's all I came home with 😉

You will have to go back 😉and pick up a double petals for hand pollination and just to add to the collection. 😉

Good Luck has made it to the popular forum and that was not even its full bloom. Here she is today loaded with blooms and more buds:


So I took more photos of her today:
