"There are few things more ratty looking than a cold adenium." SO TRUE!! My poor plants look wretched. Yes, I can take a few lovely photos, but the whole bunch is a mess. I planted 137 +10 seeds yesterday. Oh, why??!! They are all crammed in a kitty litter tray. The ten are the double purple, just to see what blooms. The 137 are from two pods that came from my fragrant white plant. I was sitting beside it one afternoon last summer, and I could smell something sweet. To my amazement, it was this blooming single white. I crossed it with "Siam Golden Aroma" which is smelly occasionally, and not really a whole lot smelly.

I use coleus as a companion plant sometimes. They droop about the time the pot is quite dry. I will order some little trailing types from Rosy Dawn nurseries as soon as they start selling them in the spring. Look if you dare!!! http://www.rosydawngardens.com...
