Adenium obesum = Desert Rose
Once I got full use of the larger greenhouse (2500 sqft), I could accommodate some of my other plant interests. In 2019 I started to invest in Adenium obesum:
- Some interesting clones for use in breeding (can also be propagated via cuttings).
- About 100 mixed color seedlings (1 year old), to get a jump on the 24-30 month time from seed to bloom.
- Fresh seed from both Taiwan & Thailand, which allows me to keep track of parentage and thus likely colors. I have some 200+ seedlings in this plant size.
Just bloomed the first of the named clones = Sun King. Now I have to wait for something suitable to pollinate it with.
