Those buds are very pretty! Crossing my fingers that all the remaining buds will open for you...anticipating.

it will be worth it when it finally opens!

Sakda blooming again

Hefty, So beautiful. A real 'grape' purple color. What a stunning bloom.
Rick

I love it. I'm going to have to look for that one.

It's my favorite Adenium. I picked it up two years ago as a tiny plant with one bloom and haven't regretted it.

Beautiful flowers, "Hefty".

Whoops, Hetty.

First blooms of the year...



Can anyone offer any info on this one? I did a trade on here about a year ago..said it was a grafted Thai variety purple rose?

She's quite beautiful, Mark! Loaded with buds! I can't help with i.d. as I only recently purchased grafted plants of double and triple varieties from Rinoa in Taiwan.

Mark, I just looked in the adenium database photo gallery...there's one that looks like yours called "Double Purple."

@babyk...this is my first and I think I need more now😱😱🙈🙈 ...thanks for the info, will Check it out!

You're welcome!

Finally! After all this time, I finally got an open bloom on my red/black seedling plant:



The third photo is with flash. Bloom is not as great as I had hoped, but not too bad. The heavy daily rains we suddenly started getting lately was causing buds to drop, so I moved this plant (plus some others) onto the lanai behind a screen, so now in mostly shade but at least protected from the rain. This bud was only about 2/3 the size of the last ones, so I know I can expect larger flowers in the future.

While waiting for this one, I had a couple other seedlings (from a different seed group) bloom.

This one:


And this one:


There was also this very plain pinkish-white that bloomed, but right now I'm more excited about the doubles.

Marvelous! Ron, you have some really fantastic blooms. Love them all.

Ron, those are beautiful flowers. It will be next year before I will have my first flowering plant (hopefully).

Pretty blooms Ron!

Ron, Those are wonderful. The second one and third are very special. All are.
Rick

All are gorgeous but I specially like the double red and black petals.

Thanks for the comments, all!

Ken, it's a really great feeling after you spend all that time growing them out, protecting them from birds and snails (birds got some seedlings early on, snails got some later), to finally be rewarded with nice blooms. Best of luck eith yours!

Holy cow, Ron. You mean birds and snails actually eat these seedlings.\? I have never even thought about that and thus never protected a single one. I do use snail bait though, protecting bromeliads and orchids, so perhaps that's why I have no problem with snails/slugs. Birds are all around, but they mainly want to feast on my ripening tomatoes.
