Adenium obesum unknown variety - Desert Rose

Just beautiful!

Bernieh:

Yes, I really like this Desert Rose. I just purchased it a couple of months ago for $5.00.

I've never seen a Desert Rose have flowers change from white to pastel pink before.

No I've never seen one that does it either ... for $5.00 I'd consider it a bargain!!

I have to agree Bernieh wonderful..;o))

Bernieh:

I'll have to find out soon, what variety of Adenium this is...

Mushybanna:

Thanks! Yes, Desert Rose is an incredible blooming plant. It's related to Plumeria, however, doesn't have a fragrance.

It look s like a little bonsi tree beautiful.

Sixpence:

Thanks! Desert Roses are commonly used as bonsais.

I wonder if then I could find any here will have a look thank you Andy.

Sixpence:

I know Milky (Maureen) has grown some in her greenhouse. I think she purchased the seeds in The U.K.

Of course you know my friend Maureen, yes she has grown them from seed and done very well so far she is a clever lady.

Sixpence:

Milky has a greenhouse...that can help a lot, especially when growing tropical/subtropical seeds.

Yes she has I have nt got a green house, my garden is nt big enough to take one, as I would love to grow Passionflowers only a few varieties will with stand our cold here. I could of grew some of these too if I had one

Sixpence:

I have an unheated greenhouse which I start many of my seeds.

My neighbor has many varieties of passion fruit vines...they give me many bags of passion fruits for juicing every year.

Yes the flower is good mixed with other herbs for relaxing so I ve seen on tv program here.

Sixpence:

Yes, it's also a very unique flavor.

I have bought several but a lot die as they need light for so many hours a day, also the cold, I still have one alive that I can see not sure about the other two I got the year before last, but I have seen a chap have one indoors he leave a lamp on his was doing fine. But I have nt the room to have indoors.

Sixpence:

There's a lot of hardy flowering species. I hope one day some will grow well for you! :>)

I shall be looking out for them Andy never fear :o)) and thank you.

Good luck! :>)

Thank you Andy :o)))
