Hi everyone - thought I'd share my "evolution" photos with the nice people on this forum. It's about a year since I caught the adenium bug, it all started with one small plant from a landscape nursery not far from my home. I bought a variety of obesum seeds from some Ebay Florida growers last October - not the best time to start anything from seed, but i was impatient. Luckily almost all of them sprouted. Here they are, just coming up after being sown on Election Day:

Here's one of these seedlings in May, growing in it's second home, a plastic cup:

And here are a bunch of "Mixed Arabicums" - seed ordered in April from a Hong Kong grower on Ebay, sown in May, pricked out and transplanted to plastic cups in July:

And here, finally, are my original obesums, getting fat and leafy in the Southern NJ tropics (it's been the hottest summer on record in Philadelphia, but these guys seem to like it):

Thanks for looking and for maintaining such a friendly community-best regards to all-Laurie
