    Hi Cynthia, I bought 5 DH seeds of this seller a few months ago. They all germinated within a few days, and I love these little fellas, they're so different! Unfortunately no curly leaves, but chance of that is slim with all DH seeds. It's dark here now so can't take no pictures, but will tomorrow if you'd like to see them.

    As for the seller being trustworthy: I've bought about 15 different varieties their seeds in the past few months, and a germination rate of >90%.

    I think curled leaves is a charachteristics that can appear on any adenium...but the minis tend to have it more

    I've emailed ko and he told me doesn't have the DH.... also I've ask Yang Ming Yuan, and they have minis, I don't know if it's the same thing, Im waiting for Rinoa response, so my only choice is that eBay seller for now, I'll keep waiting for responses...I really want those curly leaves ;)

    Cynthia, these are my 5 Dorset Horns seedlings from Poopsy40, the Ebay seller (sowed on 29 July). The single one is my favourite:

    And the first 8 seedlings in the front on this tray are Mini's from Mr Ko, sown at the same date (18 August) as the seeds of the community grow-out which are the 15 seedlings behind them. Of the 15 Mini seeds, only 8 germinated.

    My favourite of the Mini seedlings:

    Conny, the DH green trunk is one fat boy, gorgeous:)

    i have heard pale green trunks also indicate white flowers.....hope you get white, would be cherry on the top:)

    but they all dont have curled leaves? Not sure

    Thank you Conny! Your babies are beautiful! I've ordered the seeds form eBay seller, your pictured convinced me :)

    Comsan Can on Facebook has Dorset Horn seeds available sometimes and Tracy is a good reference on these.

    They are not cheap and they only come w a 3-5% chance of showing the DH characteristics. Usually sold in lots of 100+ seeds ranging from $50. U.S.

    The Dorset Horns leaves are somewhat different than that of the Mini Size. The DH leaves fold up at the mid rib (or curl up) the whole length and then curl under from leaf stem to tip.

    That's actually not a bad price at all Rick, and less than half of what the Ebay seller sells them for. Might give that a try next year.

    Tracy from here sold me 5 seeds and one of them was a DH. Like stated earlier out of 100 seeds only 3-5 will be DH.

    Thank you Saplumeria! Your baby is really cute! :) I've sent a pm to Tracy, when I've started to collect this plants never thought that I'll be wanting a DH, I didn't even know what DH means... but here I am haha and I'm not regret at all... I'm happy to be part of this community

  • 10 years ago

    Yeah, same here. I thought something was wrong with mine till Tracy let me know what it was.

    Thank you all for your responses! I'll try with the seeds I've already bought, and I'll buy a plant from Tracy... Mr Comsan Kan sells packages of 100 seeds, I don't think that is expensive but sadly I don't have enough room for all of them and I can't re sell them either because in my country there is only a few collectors. Thanks again :)

    What kind are those? Kao-Kae? Medusa?

    I've just sown my DH seeds, bought from eBay....they are tiny! 5mm each, is that normal? I hope they become real DH!

  • 9 years ago

    My DH seedlings are growing nicely inside their winter digs

    Really love the compactness of them.

    It's ok, the seller has fully refunded me, problem with this seeds is that there is not in small amounts, and I don't want to sow 20,50 or more seeds... I already have too many seedlings >.<
