I bought a "Moonlight" from Khwarunee, a Thailand grower who sells on Ebay. The flower fades in the sunlight, but it's gorgeous, creme colored. There are Skipper butterflies around that I've seen going deep into my Adenium flowers, so I was amazed and so happy to find seed pods on Moonlight. As I watched the pods grow, I must have said "Please, please please!!" about a hundred times a day. The pods finally opened yesterday, one in the morning, and the other late in the afternoon.

The seeds are big, and a little odd, with one end rounded. There were ten in one pod, and maybe twelve in the other pod.

I'm being stingy with these, planting them all myself. BUT!! My Double Santa has fore baby pods, and I'll share those seeds with youse guys.
