My Mail Order Adenium Daddy Plant...........

Last week I received an Adenium cutting in the mail from a fellow hybridizer (photo above).
The stem had 8 flowers that survived the cross country trip.
I have since used all 8 flowers to make 8 pollinations.
After 4 days it looks like a few seed pods are starting to develop.
It is tough to wait 4-6 months for the seeds and then another year to see what the hybrids do.
But these seeds will be special, as the babies will be.
In the meantime I will tend to all the other parents and babies that crowd my greenhouse.
