Al, I am not sure if you use Fb, but there is a fella there (Comsan Kan) that sells really nice hybrid cross seeds of Arabicum or TS seeds.

Not meaning that Adenium Center is not reliable.

Comsan is reliable and sends seed all over the world. His would have very good genetic gain.

Rick

Peter, thank you for the info, I just received shipping confirmation of 5 plants from Orient and probably would have never ordered if not for postings here.

Rick,

thanks for the info, I'm not a member Fb and suppose I will have to join as there is information there that can't be found elsewhere. Do you by chance have a link for Cosman Kan I'm not finding it thru Google or a friends search of Fb.

Al

Hi Al,

looks like he has gone with full name.

Rick,

Thank you this is what I was looking for!

I also vouch for Comsan as he has really good seed a very reasonable prices. Adenium Center seeds tend to be pretty costly, IMO.

Comsan isn't to bad I had some bad seeds he replaced them no problem so I bought more off him good luck

Yep, Comsan Kan is one of the best, quality and quantity, and is always willing to help with advice.

I messaged Comsan today letting him know what sets of seed I would like when they are available. I noticed he posted yesterday or today and all seed was reserved.

His last sets went really fast! Just keep your eyes open for the next offer. Or you could even pm him with what you are looking for, or maybe ask what is available. Good luck!

Lisa,

I gave him my interest in 2 separate sets that I would like when available and he replied sorry all sold and did tell me what was available. I do like what he has up for sale now but don't want that many seed though I could check with local nurseries to see if any will buy plants from me.

Al,

See if there are any other people interested in doing a group buy of seeds from Comsan. This is something that I have been part of many times over the years.

Other thought would be to check Tracy (addicted2plants) and see if she has any seeds she would sell. Tracy has wonderful connections and has been growing some pretty spectacular plants.

Or contact Jericson Pastor (here or FB) as he did have some seeds to sell.

Rick

Thanks Rick,

That is a great idea though I really don't know anyone who has an Adenium fetish like I do other than Mark Dimmitt and a couple of nursery owners and I'm sure they have their own networks and I know they all do their own breeding as well, at least two out of the three. It is only 50 seed but I'm hoping I will catch him with a super combo and then I will have to hope that I get an actual DHA out of DHA 3-5% seed. I did Jericson Pastor on FB, I'll have to give another look.

Al

Al, You can get 100% DHA and I know that they where for sale. Tracy had offered some to me quite some time ago. She is an expert on these. I would go with the 100% over the 3-5%, just so that I would not have to sow as many seeds. The cost of the 100% was more, but then better chances w less seedlings.

Rick

i have a set available right now, mix seeds of different sellers in thailand

and i have my own crosses as a set aswell.

Al, another FB seller that might be of interest to you is Morakod Aphaisuwan. I just planted 100% DHA seeds that I purchased from him. I ordered a a pack of 9 different varieties for a total of 50 seeds The total including shipping and phyto cert was $35. He has them shipped from Thailand, but he is in Phoenix, AZ.

Deborah

Yes, apparently my KHZ DHA from Comsan are supposedly 100% true DHA and while I only got one of two to germinate, it's definitely showing curly leaves on it already! It only has a 3 to 5% chance of being golden however. A lot of other kinds of DHA are hard to breed for and fall into that 3 to 5% range so if you get one of those, it's a lot rarer and more valuable. But if you aren't worried about it's resale value you can get one of the easier higher percentage DHA's like my friend sent to me. I don't know a lot about them but I am learning.
