These seem to be growing really quick, the 2 little seed leaves grow visibly bigger every day

Yes have a look Toto, they are lovely and the stems get really wide at the base. The one over the far back is a runt though...it was born with only one leaf....................

Did you start the Adenium obesum from seed? I've never seen seeds available and my plants have never produced seeds. However, they are a very commonly sold plant here.
These plant typically grow very slowly...my plants are 18"/ 46 cm tall after 5 year of growth.

Well Andy, I just googled and found the seeds easy enough, but I didnt realise that they grew that slowly. Do your flowers?......I wouldnt mind them being short, as I know we dont have the ideal conditions here but I hope this is not another beauty that I have to wait years to see......

They flower profusely in Summer...I've posted photos of my plants in the past, however, I will re-post it for you. My plant grows in full blasting hot Sun in my back yard which faces south.

They seem to have a particularly thick stem. I've no idea what these look like when grown so will need to look them up. They certainly look very healthy.
