The second one I have is an hybrid obesum, Star of Black Night x Ko_Ebay whatever the number was....I found the Ko_Ebay one labelled as Dark Lord by Rinoa if I recall correctly. At any rate, both parents are red/black flowers, heavy on the black. I almost lost this one after repotting it a couple months ago, which explains the lack of leaves on the stem as well as it being much shorter than the rest of the seedlings I have of this cross.

I have a couple that produced two leaders at base as well Mike. The one in particular is a obesum Neo- Doxon hybrid (seed through Aust. group).
They are quite interesting.
Your Diamond Scintillation seedling is quite the specimen and the
Obesum X has a very nice burgundy hue to it.

I like them both, such a good looking seedlings.

It will be interesting to follow these 2 through the coming season and see how they both develop, thanks for sharing. I really like the look of the second seedling.

So cool looking.Thanks to you guys I'm getting closer to buy arabicum seeds! :)

Aggie--getting closer? Just go for it! They're no more difficult to grow than obesums.

Need to figure out where to get them, don't like dealing with import issues, and need couple different types at once... Dear family may flip out, so I just have one shot, and a lot of seedlings soon after! ;)

Aggie,
There are a few people you could get them from. If wanting Arabicums and/or obesums, try adenium_ko (through eBay, can send a message and he could give you email as he has them for sale other than eBay), also Rinoa at orient Adenium (also eBay and has other email if you ask.). If you go on Facebook you can look up Rinoa at Orientadenium and her 2014 seed list can be downloaded.
If you want short compact ones try 'Tiny Ding Dong', the 'Mini-size hybrids',
and for a larger selection of Arabicums. I think that adeniumcenter (Kukuan)eBay, has quite a few to choose from.
All of these supply Phyto. Cert. and should not have any issues with getting them.
Hope some of this helps,
Rick

Thanks Rick, will work on it this week!

Thanks for the names, compact are good, more plants on same square footage! I'm already seriously into small Hoya and African violets minis. Small and fat Arabicums would fit good, my oldest obesums are getting way to big. Thinking about planting them in ground...
