First bloom for this little guy. Such neat little trees.

How cute. What a nice little one, and such a big flower.

Nice flower, Rick.

Another of my Mini-Size obesum's pushing out blooms. Interesting how close the color of flowers are.








Rick

It sure could be a twin. Funny how they look the same. Cute.

I guess the one thing I see different, is that the first plant has blooms with a more solid red. The second plant has a definite dark side to petals and more white closer to the throat. Also, petals on bloom are more reflexed.
Rick

I couldn't make up my mind on which one I liked the best, the first that was posted on March 11 or the second that was posted on April 4. They're both so pretty!

Just keeps on blooming. This little tree is a performer.




Rick

Very nice Rick! How old is it?

Such big flowers for a small tree. I like
I just got my dwarf from Rinoa. How deep did you plant yours. Oh yours are from seed. I thought to put mine as deep as she had it.
Are all dwarf so compact without trimming? This will be a plant that I don't think will need raised. How deep is the pot they are in?

Audrey, Sorry I missed your question. The seedlings are 22 mths. Approx.

Crystalview, There are what they call Dwarf & those called Mini-Size. One has smaller blooms I believe.
I would pot up at same level Rinoa had it at. These do not grow as quickly as other obesum's.
The pots I have these in are 4" pots w a depth of 3 1/2".
Rick

you are right Rick. Mine is a mini. I guess I will a pot that size too. Is it the dwarf with smaller blooms? your mini has large blooms and looks cool.

These where started from seed of Adenium_Ko of Taiwan. They where purchased as Mini-Size Obesum (mixed hybrids). I have one other of his a year older from seed of Mini-Size Sun-Up Star. This one has not bloomed.

The one that you just got. Is it one of the ones Rinoa had on site of Seed grown Mini ?

Rick

She was out of the one like yours that you lost. So It's her grafted Mini pink. I am not sure which is mini or if both the caudex and the graft are mini and or seed grown. I will ask. Good idea

Thank you Rick I am still learning about these fantastic plants and have taken a interest to these "minis" I really like it when someone adds a photo and also includes the age. It really does help and it gives me something to look forward to with my seedlings. I have read almost every thread here trying to learn as much as I can. I passed up some unlabled mature specimens the other day after already checking out for only $10! Can you believe that I either all the sudden sprouted will power, was sick in the head, or just lost my way back to a good deal?
