I do believe you Kadie. I got some good advice from you both. I am really happy I found this forum.

It is great to have so many nice people who know so much about the plants and are willing to share when you are new to it.

I'm learning so much from all of you, and enjoying renewing my interest in all things plants.

Kadie, Not sure if this will work for David's Article. He has great articles on Grafting also. He is world renown for his hybridizing and very highly respected.

Just remembered Kadie. There where a couple people taking about using whiskers from a salt water fish to use to pollinate adeniums. Their pollin sacs can be hard to reach I guess. There was not article, but thought this was neat idea. Not that I would know.

Haven't gone fishing in a long while. But I'll keep this in mind the next time we go fishing and catch a whiskered fish!

@Rainbow: I love your screen name! 11 years ago when my Dad was battling pancreatic cancer, I wrote him a book called "I Need a Rainbow!" He passed away Christmas Eve 2004, but it seems like every time I need a rainbow, he sends me one!

If you want fish with whiskers, we have some "mean" hardhead catfish here in the Gulf! I don't think you'd want to fool with one... I've seen people stomp them, get the hard fin stuck in their foot, and have to go to the hospital to have it removed! I even warned a guy once not to do it, but he did it anyway and had to go to the hospital!

Hi Julie,

I'm sure you miss your dear dad very much and especially at Christmas time. So sweet you wrote a book for him...I'd like to hear the story sometime on your thread.

Your account about humans stomping on a catfish even after being warned not to do so makes one wonder which is more hard-headed, the catfish or the human? While fishing on a lake in the states one day, I nabbed the only fish caught that day. My line weight must have hit the catfish on the head and woke it up...and it hooked on to my bait.

Ahh...some new colors.




First time buds of grafted adenium from Taiwan.


Can hardly wait for the blooms to open. Hope it is what I ordered...this one:

Oh Kadie, they are gorgeous and hope your s bloom like the last one.

It looks like you have some real beauties coming!

Very nice Kadie. I hope the grafted one is what you ordered.

Ooooh, colors!

The flower truly is her...it's "Midnight!"

Congratulations Kadie. Good on you. It is gorgeous.

Thanks Willeke! I can't seem to make up my mind which photo to submit to the plant database.

They are both nice if i may say so. So I think it does not mather wich you choose.

Stunning, and yes why not do both?

Yes, enter them both, KD.
