Thought I would share my recent Adenium purchases as they are all putting on a bit of a show at the moment.
I spent 2 years looking for these and went to a new garden center and they had quite a selection until I showed up. Kind of regretting not taking the last two either.
Going to pot them up at some point but not while they are in flower.
Adeniums!

Re: Adeniums!
Cheers Anthony and Ken!
I try and pick up a different one each visit.
It's hard to pick a favourite for me, just enjoying the show while it lasts and then I guess I will hope they get through winter here.

Re: Adeniums!
There's a house near me with a huge collection of these in the front yard...must be 50 or more, set out in rows.. They're pretty when they're flowering!

Re: Adeniums!
Nice plants. I like the smallest one the best. They come from the dry tropics and will not do too well in Spain without winter protection. You need temps over 10 or 12C minimum and dry roots. Best to use a mainly mineral soil too. Good luck with them.

Well I can see the appeal of that, there are seemingly a never ending list of hybrids to choose from.
These will go with my various Adensonias to over winter so I should have that part covered at least, it does bug me that they sell all sorts of stuff with not even a basic care guide.treeman wrote:Nice plants.

Not that I would imagine most people would pay any attention to in the first place.

Re: Adeniums!
I saw a mass of these for sale at the green shed at Rocklea... they look like they're in standard nursery mix, and of course they probably don't get much sun where they're selling them from... prices starting at $8
