Nice specimen,s Mark very healthy and many buds I think maybe purple mauve color ,don't forget to follow up when they burst open
Regards John (Thailand )

Mark!! Beautiful!! Wish we had some that size and healthy looking too. Where did you get them??

Chuy

By seen those pots they should be from lowes, just get rid of the soil, it keeps a lot of humidity, clean the roots as much as possible

Roberto

Great looking plants. You must be very excited and anxious just waiting for this "purple" to open. Please show us the results.
Marlene

Nice find. I'm guessing Wal-Mart. That's the three I got in April came from in the same exact pots. I'll link what the two reds bloomed like for me. The purple one has not rebloomed since I got it home but your purple looks like what mine had on it. Excited to see yours open up as mine has not put out new buds yet. I'll try to find a pic of Them to post.

Thank you John! I will post photos when the flowers open! They are getting close. I'm hoping today or tomorro.

Chuy, I thought there would be all kinds of adeniums over there? I know there's a lot of cacti and succulent growers out there who grow them.

Roberto, I plant on transplanting them after they bloom. I don't want to cause them any stress and lose the buds.

Marlene, yes! I'm excited! When I saw it I had to have it lol. I keep checking on it to see if there's any progress.

Hey Kirk! Yes I got these from wall mart , I hardly go there but I had to this week and I'm glad I found these. It made the trip worth it . Yes please post the pics of the ones you got to compare.

Mark

Mark.. good luck ....I sure hope it is purple.
Looks like purple.
I can't wait.

Mark,
Well done getting those from your local store. I have read that Adeniums are being mass produced in Holland, so just maybe they may become available in UK stores one day. Are any members in Holland?

Mark,
it looks like your new plant will have pretty special blooms, please post pictures as they open !
I envy you for finding such jewels in your local store ...

................................

Oh, and I'd like to add to what Brian just wrote,
and ask are there any members in Denmark ?

They are big on producing all sorts of house plants. So they might as well produce Adeniums ...

Imported plants here generally come from Holland or Denmark.

I have seen Adeniums in a big Norwegian garden center, surely they must have been produced somewhere in Europe ?! ( I was not into them at that time, so no purchase. )

Mark, Great find!! I found a few at Lowes last week, in the same container.
I'm going to check out Walmart now!

Hey, Mark.

Here is one of the noid reds I got.

The other red.
{{gwi:346681}}

Here they are the day I bought these three. The second blooming which ever red it was didn't have the purple edge at all. And one of them hasn't come back into bloom that is purple like yours that I suspect may be Purple Rain or Purple Rose. (I think they're the same as I can't tell the difference.)

Kirk

Thank you everyone!

Thanks Kirk for the pictures.

So they finally opened! The red one seems to have a darker edge.
{{gwi:346683}}

The purple one also opened, I'm hoping it opens up more tomorrow.

Sweet!

Congrats!

Kirk

Mark,
Your plant really turned out to be something special.

A lovely purple double ! ! !

I would love to see more pictures of that one to see the different "stages" as the bloom opens more .
- And to see the ones that still are buds, when they open.

Lucky, lucky you ! ! !
