Ha, I saw a photo of one that was nine years old, about three feet tall, and had its' first bloom. Like a broomstick with one little pink flower at the top.

Socotranums are THE most amazing Adeniums, but they must have to be 50+ years old to be anything like those on the island of Socotra where they come from.

I have an abomination, a grafted bit of real Soco that Warunee had, I guess she got some branches from a real 'tree' and grafted them onto a rootstock of.... maybe arabicum.

Yes, the leaves are sort of blunt and very thick and leathery, totally different.

I MUST get a new camera. Life is less without photos...
