Comments (17)thanks Heather thanks Laura Daniel thank you and Gill thank you i have around 50 DR's 90% of them i bought from April to October this year. but all are in bad shape having different problems with my DR's i was thinking of starting a new page with photos and problems. my attraction (or is it addiction) to adeniums started this year.
