Hi all you knowledgeable adenium growers. I am from The Land Down Under (Australia) and would like to know if any of the group have grown perfumed adenium plants. Marlene
I do not know of any scented adeniums. I know people have spoken of scent, but I believe that it is very faint and not so much a perfume, more subtle powdery smell.
You should touch base w Sandy (Sandy's Adeniums) Google it or on FB. Also, another is Cheryl Acford (Bluewater) are so incredibly nice and so knowledgeable. They would definitely be worth talking to. They are both in Australia.
Not trying to pass you off, just that they have always so helpful to myself and have been growing them for years. Such unbelievable crosses they are coming out with.
I hope that you continue here. A bunch of wonderful people and from all parts of the world.

Hello Marlene and welcome. What part of the wonderful continent of Australia do you come from, just out of interest, or nosieness? Have you already got some Adeniums down there? If so we would love to see them as there's one thing we like better than a new member, it's a new member with lots of pictures for us! Hope to see you around. Try to add your country and state after your user name......for our future reference :)

Rick, I have spoken to both Sandy and Cheryl, both have heard of this but have never experienced this in their plants. I have 3 that have a scent 1 is a seedling which I grew and the 2 others are grafts from Cheryl. Cheryl is checking one of her plants today (mother plant) and will let me know if hers is scented also.
Hi Marlene, just been ogling your scented pink plant that you posted the picture of, how wonderful!
You should be able to edit your user name in your profile so that it automatically appears at the top of each of your posts, along with your temp zone too :-)
Hi Marlene, nice to see you in this group too. Like Marlene I am in Australia but about 10 hrs further north than she is. I have 2 scented adeniums. One I grew from seed and the other a friend gave me a cutting that I grafted. The scent is beautiful and when my plant is full of blooms you can smell them without getting close.
This one I grew from seed.
The photo of the other one is on my phone so can't post it but it's a double white with pink edge.
