Cheers Gill, am sure we will have many happy times together lol, hope your ok by the way.

All you need for a happy life. ;-) Great book about the genus!

Problem I think with such a book is that you kinda want what you see, so when I have cash I need to be restrained when I purchase seeds lol especially when I am also saving up for a couple of Boophane plants and a dorstenia gigas on top of my grow light and tent etc...... Just need the lottery win then it will well n truly be all systems go ;)

Love this book. It is the Adenium bible. When I ordered mine, the postage to get it here (Canada) made it pretty pricey. We ended up going to Hawaii and I ordered it and had it sent to where we where staying for a ridiculously low postage and it only took 2 days from Ca to Hawaii. Funny, I was waiting anxiously for it and turned out the people who owned the condo, did not even know how to access the post box. With much to do, I did get it.

Good read on the Beach & Lanai.

Mine cost me £25 including delivery thanks to Martin as I was going to save up and order from America as it was going to cost nearly $60 delivered. Look forward to having a browse properly over the weekend.

Mine cost me £36 (including shipment to Denmark)! Pretty expensive but it was worth it. ;-)

Ha haaaaa that book will keep you out of trouble lol

Nope, will be in trouble with the wife as I willing sat perving at the pictures instead of doing the housework ;)

I thought you just receive an adenium hybrid called "porn":). I have this book as well and love it!

I read about it here, and now have mine. I'm thrilled to have it and it will be read and re-read. I also just noticed that the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix, Arizona will have a short Adenium class given by Mark Dimmitt! I don't know if any of you are close enough to take advantage of it.Cultivating Desert Roses: Adeniums

Often called desert roses, plants in the Adenium genus are popular
container plants because of their sculptural qualities and beautiful
flowers. They are easy to grow and fast-growing if you tend to their
basic horticultural needs. Join Mark Dimmitt, plant breeder specializing
in Adenium, as he discusses their care, watering, light requirements,
fertilization, overwintering and more. Limit 30.

Tracy - being new to adenium to be honest I haven't heard of the breeders in the book, but I assume they are some of the best in their field judging by the photos. I have just really been flicking through the book as not had time to have a proper read but there seems to be plenty of info which is valuable for newbies like me. I look forward to the day when I have a specimen that is covered in blooms like you see in the book which could be some time lol but by then I should have soaked up the knowledge and information which will enable me to be a good adenium keeper :)

yes indeed, lots of great 'pictures'.
