Ray, that package looks like it was a ten-pounder! The adenium sure were handled with care and packed so that they would arrive in good shape. Love those octopus roots. The last photo gives a really good view of the curly root spread around the bottoms. Being so new to adeniums, I'm not familiar with all of those names... I'm off to look them up. Congratulations to Dino on providing good products and to you, on your new purchases! I have a feeling those plants and their proud owner are going to be very happy.

Ray, They look great. Some nice choices there. Looks like they decorated the roots for you on the RP x PP tree. I did this with one of my Dino Kings that they sent me. They sent a photo guide as to how to chose which roots to cut.

Is their packaging beyond words for the quality and time taken to protect the trees.

Looking forward to seeing your new babies all potted up.

Really nice ones.

Rick

Thank you, Carol and Rick, yes Dino is great!

Hi Ray, I have been waiting to see these photos since you mentioned you had placed an order with Dino. Well.... You must be over the moon with these purchases. What great quality and spectacular specimens. This is money well spent. You are going to have so much fun watching these grow and they will surely be the pride of your collection. It's funny how plants can make us feel so happy. I am so glad that they got to you safe and sound. Would love to see these beauties again when you have them potted up.

I feel like I should offer you a cigar, Lol.... Congrats and happy growing. Oh, and nice to see a face to go with the name. :) Rachel.

Thanks Rachel, yes I love all my DRs but the Arabicums will be my pride and joys, you and all the other Dr growers are a great inspiration. Still waiting for my first hand planted seedling to bloom, I figure maybe in two months. Yes I will update after potting! Dino is an amazing grower of the Arabicums just like you are with the Obesums Rachel and all the other growers around the world!

Ray, it will be nice to see your progress with these arabicums and your seedlings bloom. My adeniums are still throwing out a few flowers even though it is almost Winter here, soon there will be no more flowers till Spring :(

Hopefully, you have someone here on the forum that you can reach out to for advice for growing your arabicums. Jericson has a huge/beautiful collection of arabicums and would probably be a great person to ask advice from if you need it. I am sure you will do a great job of growing these. :)

Awesome plants Ray! Can't wait to see them potted up and growing!

Rachel - now I wish I lived in US, lol. Australia is too restricted on imports.

Ray - Good luck with those beautiful babies, they are stunning.

nice one ray.

Thanks Jericson! They will be motivation for your seeds!
