the problem with seeds are unless you have a controlled enviroment or you protect you plant from any pollen you don't know the male pollinator and even if you do have controlled pollination it has to be some one with several generations of controlled pollination or it is like a man and woman having babies traits can be different from one seed(kid) to another and they can skip generations. in my family on my mothers side every 3rd generation seems to have twins we traced it back 18 generations and that is why seeds you kind gamble with them. But there are farmers that have been in business that take great care and have proven seeds for 3 or more times they are the ones you can trust and the worst thing you relay cant figure out who they are other then word of mouth and still that isnt always corret do to some might just get lucky. the bizarre thing i was reading is some one planted i full seed pod worth of seeds (just 1 pod the same pod ) and got 3 different colors 2 almost the same like harry potter but the third was a striped red very small flowers.
so you have to go with what several others have said like i know Melissa (coconut) and a adenium group i belong to have bought several seeds and grown hundreds of them i would take their advice 99% of the time on the other hand have a great knoledge on basics, how to grow, how to sell, where to get wholesale plants, but not eBay seed sellers i have tryed 2 times and failed 2 times so go figure. i wish you the best of luck and i will tell you i have ordered seeds from siam adeniums an what should be a great cross and they are high$$ i will have some for sale if you like to try out a few BUT did i say hight $$$ with out shipping 100 seeds 80.00 yes that is 8.00 per seed no shipping in that quote i ordered some grafted plants because i HAVE to have ones that are frequent but those with no shipping are 50.00 each!!! and they will be SMALL but im looking in to more a business in the future. you can tree mail me if you think you want any of these seeds Doris is getting a few to try but if you have never grown from seeds you need to start with cheap/free seeds and Doris is being so kind to give me some that will most likely be pink i will be giving small quantity of those away so people can try growing them to start
