Very nice, when did you sow these?

Re: Pterodiscus speciosus and Adenium hybrid
Awesome caudiciforms! You seem to have a very nice collection of them. I've been meaning to get more caudex plants, but so far I've just got the fairly plain ones like Fockea, Adenium and Dioscorea. Some Ipomoea species look great and that Pterodiscus is a gem. Any suggestions for other nice caudiciform species?
Re: Pterodiscus speciosus and Adenium hybrid
Those look good!! Are all of those other Adeniums from seed also?

Thanks folks, These plants are about five years of age. Yes all of those Adenium obesum are from seed.
And as for " Any suggestions for other nice caudiciform species?" ....What ever you can get your hands on. I like them all.

Nice ones, James.
Not many people growing Pterodiscus yet they are self-fertile! But ya still need atleast one to get started

Re: Pterodiscus speciosus and Adenium hybrid
Nice plants. Unfortunately my order from Out of Africa this summer came infested with thrips and maybe other stuff. I've had better luck with them in the past.
Re: Pterodiscus speciosus and Adenium hybrid
Thanks everyone. Gem hunter, I think I sowed them about 5 years ago.

Love the caudicforms, I have some, but can only claim two accidental seedlings... Apparently you can't stop some Jatropha!
It’s not the fall that kills you; it’s the sudden stop at the end.
