Hi.

I went to adeniumsindia.com. I just loved the slide show on how to polinate your adeniums by hand and the almost surgical technique used to get to the polen and receptive areas. Very well done. I polinated about a dozen flowers using their technique. We'll see if the operation generates seeds. It is finicky but it is something I enjoy doing. However, I must admit that my method of sticking a watercolor brush in the throat of the flower and swirling it around has produced decent results. Great web site. Thanks, Melissa.

Sylvain.
