Show us your adenium garden
Mine is a work in progress, as most of my plants are too young to display. I'll show you my seedlings that will be in my future garden. Please excuse the non-Adenium. I am a sucker for many types of plants as you can see.
Ah yes and some more seedlings. These too will be in my garden.
Future garden candidates.

Yes! Adenium gardens in progress where everyone could show the development and growth of their garden, whether indoors or out. Thank you for starting our (everyone's) thread! This will be fun!
About your garden above: Oh my…I could practically hear jungle animal noises in your
lush garden! I can see a monkey climbing
your tall one in picture #3 with a tiger below looking up; a dove in a nest with
chicks in your obesum tree in #2…My garden will begin with my 25-year-old that I named Bilabong:

Show us your dream garden!
Comments (16)After moving to Oregon from Ohio, my garden dream garden started out as more of a nightmare. A terraced slope in full sun with clay soil, frequented by deer. I didn't know much about the region's plants, so I hired a professional for a one hour consult and asked what to keep. I made a lot of mistakes before taking the Master Gardener course from our county extension office. Since then, I have ditched most of the lawn and grow things for pollinators and birds. I've recently gotten interested in native plants and plan to re-do a portion of my garden to feature them. I've also installed a deer fence using powder coated steel posts with stainless steel cable. This has been a 10 year transformation. It is now my dream garden. Before Before replacing rotten railroad ties with native stone top tier after after after...See MoreShow Us Your Landscape and Gardens - A Photo Thread - October 2022
Comments (22)NHBabs, it makes my heart glad to see you enjoying every last minute of your NH vistas. I am so happy you will be near family, and happy you are soaking in as much beauty of your time here before you leave. I have loved ALL of your natural scenes in all seasons! Fothergilla was one of my "must haves' and I never got one. Yours sure are beautiful! I hope the next person in your home loves the beauty you left behind. Your amsonia color looks about equal or slightly better than mine in previous years. Mine are more full than yours, and I think this year I might actually get some decent color finally...maybe (see below). Thank you for posting a pic. PM, your yard looks amazing after the rains! You would never knew the experienced drought. Your mums look great. Are they perennial or annual? This is the fist year I am seeing decent yellow in my Amsonia hubrichtii. Murphy's Law--must be because I just posted my disappointment in them. here they are with beautyberries. I have a sapling witch hazel which I cannot figure out where to plant. It is in a pot, but this fall I got my first little flowers. I was so excited! My "i hate gardening" friend has some monkshood. Boy, am i going to work on getting some of this beauty! My Sheffield mums get smaller every year. I should divide them, but each spring it seems like they barely come back, so how do you divide that? I think voles damaged my asters, and then the deer pruned them way too late in the season. I am getting flowers finally, but they are all SMALL plants this year! Caldendula reseeds so happily, and it blooms until frost. This is one reseeding annual I am very glad to have. Finally, as the sun heads farther south to the horizon, it's glare on the water sparkles like diamonds. You can't see the sparkle, but I hope in this picture you can expand it and see how it shines....See MoreShow Us Your Landscape and Gardens-A Photo Thread -Dec 2022-March 2023
Comments (11)Okay, now I have some time to see everyone’s photos and post a couple. Deanna - Nice group of photos - I didn’t winter sow this year, I’d love to see what you do with the Clarkia later. That is a pretty winter scene. We were fortunate not to lose power too, but we barely had 5 inches of snow. Friends and family in NH lost their power overnight and then got it back by noon the next day, thankfully. They had almost 15 inches of wet heavy snow. Your crocus patch looks vigorous! Mine are a little anemic this year. That sunset is amazing - not just a few clouds coloring, but the whole sky! Cute cat…does it live outdoors? Sue, I guess you can tell where you have the most shade by where you still have snow left. Another patch of crocus that looks very vigorous! Love that! Your backlit Hellebore is so pretty! My foliage was pretty yellow when it first sprouted. Yours looks like it has large leaves. MGallica - LOVE the snowdrops! That is a lot of volunteers from a small planting. I just started planting snowdrops about 5 years ago and I was impressed by how much they reseed, so I decided last fall to add more in other areas. They came up fine but now I’ll have to wait to see them make a good showing. Here is the spread I had that was also from a very small amount of the original bulb… This Hellebore is always the first one up... Not a good day to try to get the crocus it's windy. This location is the only place in the garden I still have crocus. The critters ate a lot of different varieties of them. Not sure the name of the purple but it reseeds prolifically. I have a bed on the other side of the driveway from here that has only reseeded crocus from this bed. I don't know if you can see it but the rabbits were chewing on my Clethra this winter. They also chewed all the stems on a small Calycanthus so low I had to cut it back to the ground....See MoreShow Us Your Landscape and Gardens - A Photo Thread - September 2023
Comments (18)About the Tithonia, I KNOW! I check every day. Not even a bee on it, and there are NO chemicals or anything nearby. I forgot about the root beer smell on some Agastache. Going to crush some leaves and see if I can get a whiff! This is a GREAT blog post from Hayefield about Japanese Burnet and what to plant it with. It’s the one that got me started. Now I notice all the smaller ones and I am ready to go down the burnet rabbithole! Hayefield Japanese Burnet post Some more first-year bloomers: I thought all of these seedlings had died and mistook them for a type of carnation, but I am SO pleased to see I was wrong! These are Heleniums, which have FINALLY survived the slugs and become plants. My wintersowing germination is excellent, but I swear I love over 50% of what germinates before it can get established, mostly from slugs. I’m very happy to finally have Helenium survive. I may have to move it from this location, but I’m very happy to cater to its needs! Sterntaler coreopsis is now blooming. I must admit, the burgundy center is not my favorite since I am not a fan or bronze and burgundy in the garden, either in flower or foliage. (The burnet above leans more towards purple, so it’s OK.). But, I’m glad to have them anyway. It seems one of my Heliopsis is neither Summer Nights or Burning Hearts, but is the standard. Another very welcome surprise! Here’s a good shot of my secondary growth from the seed pods with their own buds. It’s just so weird and Intersting! And this lungwort and brunerra area has LOVED the moisture. I lost many brunerra when it was first being established, but for the past three years it has finally settled in and even reseeding all over with both brunerras and lungwort. It’s so nice to see the variegated/frosty brunneras reseed. I think it helped when I put a HUGE rock up at the driveway edge so the plowman would stop destorying it. Every plowman should be required to tend gardens by hand in the summer, in my dream world. And three spring/early summer bloomers are reblooming, both viola, nepeta, and dianthus. And, lastly, I love River Oats seedheads. They are still green now, and are beautiful in the morning moisture....See MoreKadie

Your plants look nice silhouetted in the window...they look like they are wistfully staring out the window and patiently waiting to be let outdoors.
Bilabong's clone will be in the new garden as well, but better outfitted:

8 years agoMy mom and aunt were at a huge plant show in Florida some months back that had an Adenium vendor with some really nice larger plants. They texted me and asked if I wanted them to pick me up one while they were there. Needless the say the answer was YES of course. I will be driving to Florida in about 5 weeks for a visit with my parents where I will be picking this beauty to start my outdoor Adenium garden! I cannot wait to see what is under the soil.

Daylilies (Hemerocallis) a few in bloom
Trillium Chloropetalums rubra
Primula 'Silver Lace'
Rhododendron 'Blaney's Blue'
Rhododendron 'President Roosevelt'
Wisteria 'trained as a tree or standard form.
Peacock
Adenium 'Triple Twilight'
Thought I should finish with an ADENIUM.

8 years agoNiccce! A peacock is certainly several steps up from a pink flamingo. I'm not sure yet whether I will have a wild pig boar, a monitor lizard, or something slightly less intimidating like puppy Chihuahuas in my garden.
Hoping these buds will turn out to be doubles--they have chubby bud forms.

8 years agoMy turn. Here's my main family. Not in their glory due to winter starting but still my pride and joy. Our winter doesn't last long but it's been a bit up and down and confusing some of my plants. A few have lost all their leaves but others are blooming with new shoots. I'm lucky I don't have to put them inside.

Second blooming this year of this plant, one of my favorites.
This 20 year old plant suffered frost damage over the winter and had to be hacked up mercilessly. Looking much better with blooms and foliage covering stubby limbs.
Another happy plant. Thanks for looking, J.B.
