Default Adenium obesum

It spends summer outside in full sun and blooms a lot every year. I grew it myself from a seed:






Thanks for looking.

Wonderful! I have several adeniums and plumeria. I have over twenty adeniums sprouting at the moment and around the same of plumeria and hibiscus. That is beautiful though. Do you know which one this is? Well done!

I have no flowers on mine but I only got them two weeks ago. I bought a load of seeds from a UK company - http://www.plumeria2u.co.uk/ - they export seeds to the US too.

Wonderful! Those flower are so vibrant - how long to they last?

This plant has toxic sap used for poison hunting arrows - did you know that? I didn't. Very cool!

Thank you everybody!
Mine bloomed on the third summer, but that's when I took it out to the full sun for the first time, maybe it could bloom earlier if I did it before.
