Rucky sent me some adenium seeds soon after I joined All Things Plants. I was so happy!!!!! I sowed them soon after and the little seedlings began to grow.
But on April 2nd there was a heavy rain and an important flood covered with water the city where I live.

It had never happened anything like that before. My house and my garden were under one meter of dirty water for fifteen hours.
I lost a lot of things: furniture, mattresses, my car and my little seedlings.
It was very hard to go back to normality.

Well, about two months ago I was looking for something else and I found the envelope where rucky had sent me the seeds and there was a seed inside !!!
I sowed it and it is the seedling I am showing you. I am happy again

A wonderful story of rebound and survival

So happy for you! And glad you recovered from the flood. No fun. @Rucky has some good strong stock!

Thank you Cheryl and Hetty ! It was a difficult situation but my husband and I stayed in an attic during the night and were safe. The next day the house was in a mess.
There was something good out of the disaster: Everybody helped friends and neighbours and you could see how good people are.

What a wonderful story for that little seedling. I'm glad you are recovering and that you found the seed.

Thank you Jonna !

How is your little seedling doing now???

Some kind of worm bite it. It is fighting to survive.

Good luck...hope it makes it through that trauma

They often do OK after worm bite. In a little time, new leaves will appear, have heart!

Ceci, if you want, I could send you some more adenium obesum seeds. I just received 2 packets with 20 seeds in each and I'm only going to sow 10 of each because I don't have a lot of room left under my lights....and the seedlings I already have are growing like weeds! The two varieties I got are 'Double Black Edition' and 'Magenta Windmill'. I won't even ask you to pay for postage since I just LOVE feeding other peoples' new-found addiction to growing adeniums! I could even throw in some pachypodium seeds--I recently got some sent to me (for free) from a wonderful grower in Australia who has her pachys growing in the ground in her yard! The pachy seeds I have are of three types: P. sofiense, P. meridionale, and P. lamerii. Let me know if you want them....

Attached is a photo of my light fixture set-up......12 bulbs, T5 High Output fluorescent 48" long by 21" wide. You can see 4 P. meridionale seedlings at the very front in the black seedling tray, just to the right of the McCafe cup with nothing growing out of it--it has/had P. rosulatum seeds in it that never germinated....unlike the other three types!

You rock with your seedlings!

I don't know what to say Mike ! You are all so generous guys !
Rucky sent me some more seeds that have nor arrived yet.
There has been a problem in the Post Office and the employees have been on strike. A lot of letters have not been delivered. Hopefully they will arrive one of these days.
I am sending you a tree mail
