I left my adeniums outside while Isaac's outer bands went through our area. We were well outside the error cone, but we still got plenty of wind and rain falling horizontally. I didn't bring the adeniums in. They weathered the whole thing outside. They didn't take to that very well. Most of the leaves fell off. Is there anything uglier than a defoliated adenium? But, I tell myself that this is not the first my babies dropped all their leaves, so I'll keep on caring for them. The new leaves and new blooms will come back. It's just a matter of time.

I have come to the conclusion that, given half a chance, adeniums will make you cry.

Take care, everyone.
Sylvain.
