ADENIUM BLOOMS from Seed

I have compiled a group of photo's from some friends that live in Australia. In Australia they cannot bring in Grafted plants (quarantine makes it either not possible or too costly) as many of us can. So they are left purchasing seed from reputable suppliers or using their own hybrids for crossing to produce new blooms.

All these Photo's are not mine and permission has been granted to myself to post them.

These first are a few from one grower.

These next ones are from Sandy's Adeniums.

These se are from another grower Cheryl Acford.

A few more photo's of Cheryl's.

Christine is from Australia and I know that she has some remarkable blooms she has grown herself from Seed.

I wanted to show these so that it would confirm that we can get some remarkable blooms such as the ones above. These people have been growing these for decades and using their own hybrids to produce new blooms. Remembering that they have most likely started more seeds than we will ever start and they can keep them outdoors all year.

They have purchased seed from both Ko & Rinoa. Many others also.

I'm speechless with my jaw on the floor Rick. What a selection. I think the last 2 are my favorites but it is so hard to choose. Thanks for sharing these, they are a great example of perfection!

With the limited experience I have. A reputable grower is trying to produce different hybirds and sells seeds to you/us with no different percentages of the seedlings being anywhere true, but hopefully with some similar characteristics or possibly an "new" hybrid. Which is then sold as grafted or tissue culture for a clone of the mother plant. I believe when purchasing seed, you cannot expect anything, just be happy with something different or uniquie. If someone wants a particular flower of liking, then they need to purchase a grafted plant, unless the nursery/seller is selling that plant in photo as is. Just my take on this. Rick

So those little shoots started after the big one started it's bud? All mine just have one growth. Is there away to get the littleones started earlier? Your plant is 2 right? Mine are only about 8 months old and 7" tall.

Chris, Christine has given you some valuable information and the two of you should have great success with them. Especially that you both live in locations that offer wonderful growing conditions for them. They should grow leaps and bounds for you. Keep us all posted on their progress. Rick

Hello everyone, I hope someone could provide me some information. 1. Please let me know if all the grafted Adeniums that you have purchased from Rinoa produced the same type of color and shape that were advertised for these plants. 2. How long did they take to flower after you received grafted plants? 3. Anyone had experience with growing from seeds purchased from Mr Ko or Ms Rinoa, please inform seeds from which supplier have a better chance to grow into what are on the pictures. I still love pink flowers but I think if 90% of them would turn pink, then it would be too much. 4. Can anyone comment if the adeniums which turn pink, is it the same kind of pinkish flower, or there is a variety in different form and shade of pink? 5. Was it ok to import grafted plants to the USA? Thank you. Sunny

Here's some of mine I've grown from bought seed to add to the list. I've only been growing for 2 years so nowhere near as good as Sandy and the others but still happy with my results. I have just had my first hand pollinated seed pod open today so I'm off and running with my own seeds now.
