Melissa.....yes, the specific name of this variety of arabicum is Head Explodes. There are others.....Diamond Bracelet, Emerald Crown, Beefcake, Gold Bracelet, and more. They all originate from a grower in Thailand named Ray Saraburi. Ray is on Facebook--you can buy seeds from him directly, but it's not easy as he doesn't speak much English. Can also order his seeds from JK Adenium, also on Facebook, but they sell out of their stock VERY fast--I think they're all out for the current harvest from Ray.
I wound up placing 4 separate small orders--to increase my chances of the orders being delivered successfully since neither Ray nor JK Adenium included phytosanitary certificates. Soooooo....long story short, both of my orders via JK were a bust. One was confiscated by US Customs and the other I received but all the seeds were smashed because they didn't use a bubble wrap envelope! The other two orders were successful, one was directly with Ray but going through a buddy of mine from Facebook adenium groups who did all the "talking" with Ray. The other order that made it was via another Facebook adenium groups friend.....who ordered the seeds from a re-seller in Malaysia who is also a member of Facebook adenium groups.
