    Count me in!

  • 10 years ago

    Here's some more examples , they are all 7$ for 10 seeds.

  • 10 years ago

    Sounds like Rick and Dain are best to choose IMHO. Since it seems we want try something as a group. How do we feel about that?

    I have not heard much of the Yang Ming Yuan cross seeds

    I'll go with what you guys choose. (:

    Hi Marica, Yang Ming Yuan is Rinoa's supplier and has her/his own website. Here you go http://www.yangmingestore.comhttp://www.yangmingestore.com 

    From experience, Mr. KO always send 15 seeds although he advertise it as 10 seeds (cross pollination seeds).

    I also like Mr. Ko's seeds because it seem to be thriving better than Rinoa's ( From Yang Ming). Maybe just me.

  • 10 years ago

    I like single better but I will go with whatever you pick,

  • 10 years ago

    Am open to any, but i would love to try for a single red star


  • 10 years ago

    I think it would be prudent to pick multi petal parents.

    But my opinion doesn't matter. I'm not sure I have the space in my apartment for more seedlings, especially when I have to overwinter them. I really want to participate, just not sure it's smart.

  • 10 years ago

    i am up for whatever the masses want. no prefs … not a pink though. haha. just thot it was time for another community bonding project.

    Okay. I am no expert on hybridizing, but it seems the consensus is that we could or will end up w a single bloom from Multi petaled hybrids.

    I have listed 3 here. What do you think?

    From Ko's list

    2 of these are in photo's that "Elena" posted above within thread.

    Ko_ebay 10 x Ko_ebay51 - Photo above.

    Ko_ebay 14 x Ko_ebay51

    Ko_ebay 46 x Ko_ebay 51 -Photo above.

    Your thoughts and/or choices?

    I think that once we make a decision, we need to go back to the other thread and confirm who is wanting to be involved.

    My order of preference:

    1) 46x51

    2) 14x51

    3) 10x51

    But I will go with any of those three: I have no hybrid seeds/seedlings yet, so very excited anyway!

  • 10 years ago
    last modified: 10 years ago

    I'm easy and good with whatever the rest of you choose. I'm not a big fan of the dark reds but of those choices I like 46X51 best. I have nearly 400 seeds coming already though so .. I'm going to be busy.

  • 10 years ago

    10 14 and 46 x 51 are all very nice.

  • 10 years ago

    My favorite is Ko_ebay 10 x Ko_ebay51

  • 10 years ago

    I'm cool with anything..... besides pink :)

  • 10 years ago

    My first choice would be 46x51, then 10x14

  • 10 years ago

    This is my first time growing adenium, and I've just recently joined garden web. I am happy to try any colour, but as much I can figure out. I like the 46x51 best. Would be grateful if a pic was posted when the decision is made.

  • 10 years ago
    Shimolee i am pretty sure India can receive KO seeds.
  • 10 years ago

    So far it looks as though

    Ko 46

    X

    Ko 51

    Seems to be a favorite among us or at least second choice.

    What's the consensus? Have not heard from some of the others?

    Rick

  • 10 years ago

    I'm fine with this choice. I'm going to be flexible.

  • 10 years ago

    I will go with what most choose 46x51 on Mr. KO. (:

    Lets set a deadline to order, for me winter will start in 2 months, so wanna get started, the delivery will also take 10..15 days.. Any idea if Mr Ko has enough seeds of the choiice we are opting for?

  • 10 years ago

    sounds good for me too

  • 10 years ago

    When I contacted him, he had sent through an email w large quantities price which is quite good. I am going to send a note of and mention that we are doing this as a group to see if he would give the same price? He may not, as he would have to send to different address's.

    Worth a try.

    Shimolee, yes we need to expiate this as soon as possible for everyone.

  • 10 years ago

    What is shipping like for seeds from Thailand?

  • 10 years ago
    Sandy Mr KO is in Taiwan and his shipping is only $4 or $5 this includes the phytosanitary certificate.
  • 10 years ago

    Definitely the sooner the better.


  • 10 years ago

    I would love to participate in this!


  • 10 years ago

    I've been watching this thread and would also love to join in but I'm a bit scared because I have zero experience with seeds.

  • 10 years ago

    Go for it Dragonstone!

    2 months ago I had zero experience as well. I planted a few seeds, and now I have over 400 seedlings! I have >95% germination success with Mr Ko's seeds (over half of all my seedlings are Mr Ko's).

  • 10 years ago

    I checked with Ko about the Ko_46x Ko_51 hybrid seeds and he sent me a note back. He has enough seeds. The seeds will be going to all different parts of the world, so a group buy does no work and honestly the only thing you save on is the shipping.

    I think it is important that if we want to get these seeds while he has them, that we all place an order soon.

    I do not think that we have heard back from everyone that originally where interested in doing this.

    Not sure which is the best way to inform everyone on this?

    Rick

  • 10 years ago

    How do you order from Ko?

  • 10 years ago
    last modified: 10 years ago

    adenium@adenium.com.tw

    This is the email that I have been using.

    Rick

  • 10 years ago

    I might drop out then as I already have 3 lots growing 10/65, 65/51 and 49/54 which are similar. But will definitely be following all your progress to see the results.

  • 10 years ago

    Do we all individually email him and tell him we are in your group?

  • 10 years ago

    I just emailed him, ordered 15 seeds, yay;)

  • 10 years ago

    Hi Rick, how about putting a deadline to order on the other thread for all persons who showed interest by listing their name, and also how to order for new persons like myself i.e. email address and name of seed. Once order is placed, either start a new thread or continue the other one where persons who actually ordered seeds could list their names and we can keep in touch and compare growing progress.

    Ria

  • 10 years ago

    I went ahead and put in my order to Mr. KO. Aside from 46x51, I was tempted to order some other cross seeds on his list because of the free shipping of $50 or more on seeds.

  • 10 years ago

    Just a note from Ko's website..

    If you want a prompt shipment, please do place the order before every Wednesdays am 10:30 (Taiwan), because that's the deadline for applying quarantine inspection. Otherwise, we can not catch the deadline for apply quarantine inspection, then we have to keep your order till next week and send it on next week. Hope you can understand.

    Right now it is Thursday 1:13 am. in Taiwan.



  • 10 years ago

    what is Ko's website?

  • 10 years ago
    last modified: 10 years ago

    Do you imagine those are reds with purple making them look darker? Could be real nice if we got a surprise purple in the mix without the red. Muhahaha! Ah, we'll help you, Dragonstone! Don't be afraid. It's not expensive.

  • 10 years ago

    Thank you.

  • 10 years ago

    We need to order the seeds individually. It is not done as a group from him.

    adenium@adenium.com.tw

    This is the email that I have been corresponding w them and the one you would place an order with.

    So, it looks like we need to order now before end of Monday next week (Aug 8) so they will be shipped next week. Sooner better.

    Rick

  • 10 years ago

    From Ko

    But would you please don't make the payment first?

    Please send the order to me then pay after I sent you the total price

    or it will cause my confuse, thank you!

    Best regards,

  • 10 years ago

    Welllllllll.... okay, you convinced me. hehe. I do know I'll regret not participating more than I'll regret some seeds dying on me because I did something wrong. Consider me in!

  • 10 years ago

    I've ordered my seeds today. :-)

  • 10 years ago

    I think we need to pick one thread and stick with it.. or start a new fresh thread.

  • 10 years ago

    Sandy, I believe you are correct. Not sure what to call it?

    You go ahead and start it w the appropriate heading and we will follow.
