Wonderful, Jerry! This is your year for seed pods! Congratulations.

That's a super fast technique Jerry! Would you mind to share? I thought pollinating adeniums is kinda too complicated... :)

For pollinating, rather than crossing, I don't have to be careful about the pollen.

I strip the petals back to the base quickly.

Then remove the long things (forget the name) with a twist of my fingers.

Grab the top of the little 'teepee' covering the pollen, etc, and stick the pollen to my somewhat dull toothpick and apply it to the small female portion.

Normally, I cut or remove some of the parts of the teepee, but just pollinating I don't need to be so particular about other pollen.

It rained within an hour of my doing these, but I think they still all took.

Can someone show me a pic of the adenium "teepee" and what does the female portion look like. Oh that sounds so stupid. I see my old college course now.

Of all the material I've reviewed on this topic, David's has been the best.

Ah crap. That was such a good material, now I may have to try it.

Without David's page, I wouldn't have any seed pods right now.

A shame he hasnt posted since 2013. Am I reading that right?

Dain,

I did notice that there have not been any new posts on his Yahoo Adenium Group or Facebook page since Nov 2013.
