This is a photo of a plant which I have had for more than three years. Six weeks ago I came back from a holiday on the continent to find the plant infested with spider mite, and all the leaves had turned yellow. I had no alternative but to strip the plant of all the leaves, and assumed it would stay defoliated till spring.
Imagine my surprise when about two weeks later a young shoot produced itself, later followed by a young bud. It is the first flowers for this plant, the only adenium boehmianum that I own. It makes me proud to see it. And I certainly look forward to growing some
more.
Beautiful!... I do have a few Adenium, which I sowed, but no Boehmianum. If you happen to have some seed from the species for sale, I would be happy to buy some. Thanks and have a great day!...
