Hello everyone. This my first post here, and I just wanted to say hello. I'm a Midwest plant hobbiest, my favorite by far being my adeniums. This is a picture I just took of my first one, (purchased 5-6 years ago now.) Thanks for reading.

I tip my hat to you. Welcome!
That is really gnarly and has been shaped really well. Do you have others? We love pics.
Do you grow from seed ? I have not been able to do that. So I have acquired older root stock I have to wait till next spring to try grafting for my weather is cooling at night.

CptBlight, Very nice specimen. So well staged and wonderful root structure. Nice plant.

Thank you everyone, I've struggled with it a little, so it's nice that it seems to be working out. I do have a few others, and three seedlings that were planted in the spring. I don't usually have the best luck starting anything from seed though. ( hopefully that will change since I'm setting up a tabletop greenhouse this winter Big Grin ) I'm going to add a photo of one that has decided to bloom mid september.
