A special adenium

17 years ago

I've been growing loads of ademium seedlings and put the last batch in about a month ago. I really haven't been paying much attention to them but happened to take a look this afternoon. I finally have a variegated adenium. It from a variety called Blosson Jade which is not variegated. This is a mutation. I've gotten albino seedlings once in a while but they can't survive because they don't produce any chlorophyll. This has enough green that it should do just fine. It also has tints of red. There's pics of a few other flowers and a Mexican Sour Gherkin. I have no idea how big it's supposed to be when ripe?

    Beautiful Karyn, I hope it survives!
    I have such a terrible survival rate after mine germinate.

    I think it should do alright. I have good results with adeniums, maybe a bit too good. I have a greenhouse full of them. lol Two of my 2 yr old adeniums have buds that should open pretty soon. BTW the variegated one is called Bosom Jade not Jade Blossom and appears to be a medium pink bloom but I don't know if adeniums grow true or not.

    That Variegate is so cool! Congrats. I should try to grow them again. I had 2 or 3 seedlings that eventually died.
    What is the beautiful purple blossom?

    Oh Karyn, Karyn. Now you have me want MORE lol.

    My future DIL was here today and she took a closer look at my 6 Adeniums I have growing. She thinks also that they are just so cute looking!

    Karyn that is awesome that a variegated surprised you. Cross my fingers that it will grow and grow and keep the variegation.

    Oh and the rest of your pics...great. Love the color pattern of the Daylily!

    Barb HOW excited are you getting? Maybe we should SMS to Al roflmao

    Siam I know one day your dream of getting your own variegated Canna will happen.

    Cant wait for them blooms..Keeping it short hahha plant sale is great....I am tired..:)))

    It'll be fun to see how the variegation holds as the plants mature and bloom. I thought I had a bad case of needing (OK wanting) everything growable until seeing everything members of this group is 'into'....LOL. After seeing all the brugs PLUS other things here I think I may be a paragon of restraint (not that budget or an already crammed yard might have anything to do with it.
    As a northern gardner I especially enjoy seeing the posts of plants I'm still waiting to bloom, but my day is coming.
    Have a great gardening day on this beautiful Sunday morning. Will

    Karyn,
    That variegation is really cool! I am glad it has enough green to give it a good chance of making it! Is the second picture to the bottom butterfly weed? I have been trying to grow it for years and have never been successful.
    Thanks for the pictures and the education!
