Hello Howard. Firstly, you are neither of the above! Mr Ko is one of the most revered Chinese adenium growers and a trusted source of high quality seeds, he trades on eBay as adenium_ ko. Unless you are one of us Adenium nuts over on t'other forum, so I'm not surprised you haven't heard of him....but now you have and are 'one up' on those that haven't!

regards, Gill UK

Hello Everyone, Just wanted to say that 6 of the 7 grafted trees that I bought from Rinoa are growing well and have rooted . They are all pushing leaves at this time and I am happy to see them look so good. I am out of town working, but I will post some pics of these babies when I get home. I was scared to buy them barerooted in the winter, but my friends from Florida were going in on a shipment and I had to join in... ;-) The seeds from Mark D. Are all doing well and I haven't lost any during this winter. Some are hanging on, but most are doing great. I am relieved... They will all come back in full form this summer. Take care , Laura

Hi trace, hmm I will prob end up sowing a few of all of them, or do you think best to sow more of just one or two varieties? Just put some mini greenhouse shelving into the tent to create more space aswell as running both light in one tent, same idea as Martin really. I would prefer a tent really that's not as tall but much wider lol so there's more floor space rather than adding shelves. Seeds from rinoa at present don't look too good, only signs of a few germinating out of 40 or so seeds sown.

That's a beautifully grown specimen, succulentville. Also curious about Phil's question (how many seeds did it take to get those flowers..). And where do you live, do you grow outside or under lights? For those who don't know, Mr. Ko is ebay seller adenium_ko. I have a few of his A. arabicum varieties grown from seed as well, got near 100% germination. If you like Adenium, I heartily encourage you to head over to the Adenium forum here on GardenWeb, it's a great place. Daniel

Kathy - I started my Adenium obsession a year ago. My original planted seeds are 1 year old seedlings now, they look taller and stronger than some of my grafted plants. Im waiting for them to bloom. All from different seed suppliers. Still want to plant more. The ones with nice roots I will train as bonsai.

Without wishing to hijack the op's thread, I'm ok Howard but gave good and bad days, thanks for asking.

...and back to the subject matter. It looks as though the subsequent blooms are also going to be deformed. This is making me think that this be due to some kind of mineral or trace element deficiency? It's not mechanical or pest related as they all are affected in the same way from what I can see.

I do like the look of it anyway!

I have a few plants with the same flowers,they were repotted 3 months ago using a potting mix with slow release nutrient and trace elements included in the potting mix i will be watching to see if there is any change in the flower shape in the near future.
