Adeniums - October 16. 2008 This one is most likely an Adenium somalense hybrid |

| See these pictures taken in
the Summer of 2006 outside and now today in the greenhouse, I
keep the height topped off at about 7 feet. The smooth conical trunk
points to Adenium somalense. The plant seems to be pollinated fairly easily, Summers outside always produce several of the double seed horns. The blooming plant spent several months in the company of a small Adenium multiflorum Mombassa and a "regular Adenium obesum". They may have been both flowering at the time of the formation of pods #1. Only the "regular Adenium obesum" was flowering around the time of the formation of pods 2 and 3. # 4 must have been selfed. ![]() Leaves and flowers of the Adenium tree: |
