All I can say is... HOW COULD YOU!?

You went to a store that sold plants and you didn't buy any plants???????????? You'll just have to go back, that's all.

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

Gorgeous isn't enough to describe Goodluck... Breathtaking, beautiful beyond compare, magnificent, stunning and captivating to name a few other terms. I think I'm in love. Will Good luck have seed?

for the tip!

I am hoping she will give me a seedpod with these many blooms. I will be happy with one or two. She tries to produce seedpod last winter but it busted. hopefully this time, she will produce seedpods.

When she does, I'll be back to beg and plead for some.

I love Good Luck as well, it's very high on my list of really really want to get!

I agree, and I have not seen any in store since. I am so nervous as I don't have back up of this. And most of my seedlings that are single petals are multi branch so I can't even use them to graft. I will have to be creative and probably use a rooted branch to graft. The cuttings of Goodluck will not root an will either just shrivel or rot.

I admire the self control, Kyle. It's difficult - I often go to the local nursery just to see what they are offering. I focus on the plants that have many pollinators going to the flowers.

I don't have a vice at all except plants 🪴 And I know it is a true addiction because I have to make a promise to myself not to buy and I still end up buying.

That's easy to fix... just stop making those silly promises!

You're making us all look bad. I go for a light switch, end up with plants and no light switch.

and I act interested about what hubby buying light 💡 switch at Home Depot or Lowe's and then we split. I got his 10% discount on my plants and he has no light switch. And at the counter he just laughs and shakes his head. (He said, it is a good thing I don't buy plants online or plants could be showing at our doorstep because I will have it as a recurring order.)

The Adenium-A-Month Club! But it would have to be at least weekly. Maybe even daily.

And Chai Lai has a grateful "heart" after I saved it from the sunburn.

Anne for the I am so glad the buds seems to be opening now instead of constantly dropping off. I have more blooms now, and more buds too!

@purpleinopp
for the

And Happy Monday!







Fallen blooms, daughter thinks still too pretty to toss:





Christmas Santa


Mrs Rose

I love the group photos with a mass of blooms! And Desert Christmas is still one of my "must haves" one day, but they're all stunning!

This came home with me today it was waving at me " to HD, now take me home!"




By the way, is there is JoAnn Fabrics in your area, I was able to buy these pots, buy 1 get 2 for $5.99.



I choose the design that has white on the bottom part to hide salt residue.
