started adenium inventory

8 years ago

last modified: 8 years ago

re-engaged my desert rose addiction this year and am in the process of doing inventory so this is the first of 45 and one of the nicest and a heavy bloomer of really nice flowers. No official name yet, am sure this was import from Asia and then possibly cloned locally in Miami area, if it rings anyone's bell and a name pop's up ...... pls share... thank you

second plant "adenium_2" also a variety to be determined. This is the darkest plant I have with heavy flowers

that kinda droop due to weight, hopefully as the plant gets bigger and stronger

the third plant is a double pink, pls excuse the hand n the second shot

flower a bit looking straight out and not up.

and the last one (for this post). is a yellow with a darker reddish sort of edge

Ben: The second shot of that pink double looks much like one called 'Good Luck' which I just ordered from an seller on eBay (My first ever purchase of an adenium). Is the color really that clear pink, or more muted like the first photo of it.

Wow, Ben, 45?? Do you do your own grafting? Those look so healthy.

I have done adenium grafts when I had a ton of them in south Fla, but none of my current batch of plants have been modified by me. Two thirds are grafted and some are seedlings,,, that I really liked... I am a picky desert rose shopper. price for these plants ranges from $5 to $15, nothing over $15

@geoforce, thanks for the tip, took another look this morning and it is true pink, the hue that the picture shows may have been affected by the fading light of the evening when I took the picture. . I noticed the variation in the color as well and it seemed weird.

these are 5,6,7 the red plant has a name and a twin brother as I bought two of them, they have been blooming their heads off. When I first saw the plant is bloom I had a WOW moment as I had never seen such a large, well formed, great color, great shape red adenium yet

Ben, I really enjoy growing things from seed, or buying tiny baby plants and growing them out. Never have been one that needed to spend mega-bucks on a mature plant. My one adenium was grown from a seed, along with a few others. This was the only solid red one. I sometimes wish I had kept the pink one also.

Really love the bright red and the #5 custard with rosy picotee is also very attractive. I think it would take me a while to get into the last one though. It certainly is unusual and even startlingly different but it confuses me. I'll have to think on that one a while.

@Candice... I do not have a name for it, thanks for mentioning yours, I will compare if I can find pics online, or maybe you can post a pics of yours here for comparison?

I think we may have approached a time where there are so many plants of close features that names may become a not so reliable identifier... As there is no official registrar for adeniums ....that I know of.
