I've had a couple of seed pods on one of my adeniums for a month or more. I finally noticed yesterday that one side has opened and the seeds are beginning to fly off. This is the whole pod a close up, click for a good shot of the seeds It's a noid dark rose, it blooms profusely though. ![]() A day without sunshine is like, you know, night. |

Such great shots of the seeds emerging - I've taken the liberty of proposing the pictures for the database! Now go catch them ![]() |

Is there any chance that the blooms from the seeds would be different than the mother plant? If so, I would sprout a few of them but if not, I don't really have the room for more of the same plant. Thank you for proposing them to the data base. A day without sunshine is like, you know, night. |

Adeniums do not come true from seeds so yes, you could have some different blooms. The nice thing is too, Adenium seedlings can bloom really soon, like 6-8 months... |

That's true, they don't usually look like the parent, if you want a yellow or something. That looks like what I call a "Classic" Adenium, like those found in the wild, so the offspring will probably be close or the same. Is it a grafted plant? |

No, it's a natural not grafted. It's a pretty common color around here, I doubt it is anything special. A day without sunshine is like, you know, night. |
