Steven, my favorite has to be the Calceolaria, I love the cute fat pouch! Nice color too.

I picked up a small Rhipsalidopsis in bud the other day. It fits on the kitchen windowsill for now. The flowers still close up every night and on very cloudy days.

I moved my tall Adenium (which is probably a somalense hybrid) out of its Winter corner. I might be able to move it on the deck next week.

Amazing. Both are beautiful, Ursula. The Easter Cactus is a color I've never seen (I've had red and fuschia).

I have Adenium obesum and Adenium mombassa multiflorum, but they stay small.
I bought this one as a small plant, but it took off right away and grew really tall. For years I topped it off regularly about eye - level, but lately I let it grow higher.
Looking at pictures of Adenium somalense, mine has the same typical trunk but the blooms are not quite correct. That's why I think it is maybe a hybrid somalense x obesum, or something like that.

These are from cuttings I rec'd 3 years ago. They are every bit 4" across. I was up taking pics at 5 am for the last 2 days b/c when I get home they are wilted.
