That white one sure is impressive. Very big. The red one is also great. Lovely color. Is that from the same batch from best plumeria?

Yes!

It is gorgeous.

Thank you! You just never know what you're going to get from these amazing trees!

Lovely talking to you Willeke. It's night-nite for me now. Talk to you tomorrow.

That is so true. My seedlings do all have different color stems. So I am anxious to see what they will look like. Good night Kadie. Till tomorrow.

Happy New Year everyone!

KD, Like them both, but the White one is so pure and such a nice size of bloom. I can see you doing hand pollinating with yours one day.

Sounds good, Rick. It is said that when the blooms are 2 to 3 days old it is the best time to pollinate. The 2nd bloom of grafted tree "White Cloud" is starting to open up. I'll try pollinating it with the pollen from the first bloom.

Are you going to try to pollinate some of your plants Kadie. I think it sure will be tempting to try it and see what the result will be. For now it is wait and see what the result will be of my seedlings.

Yes I am. I did it once on my 31 year-old clone and it worked...it produced one seed pod.

Good job. Do you really have a 31 year old plant? Do you already have it that long or was it already a few years old when you bought it? Nice age for a plant.

Yes, I do. It was a clone given to me when it was 15 years old...that was 16 years ago. http://garden.org/ideas/view/R...

What a pretty impressive plant Kadie. Good job you did on it.

KD, Hum, 15 + 16. Must be a young age of 31, eh.

Kadie, has the perfect climate and knowledge to be a wonderful supplier of plants one day. I know that I keep saying this, but it is true. Not making false comments. You have the where with all to do it and definitely the knowledge and passion to.
Have you viewed the files from David Clulow from Venezuela?

Rick

Thanks, Rick! I have heard of David Clulow somewhere. Parts of Venezuela have the same climate and weather conditions that we do here. So I imagine that adeniums grow well there as well.

Could you provide me a link for files on David Clulow?

I think you are right Rick. Kadie sure is very passionate with them. Although I think you are very good with them as well.

He's extremely modest, but I consider Rick a mentor. He has given me a lot of good advice and information since I first started.
