Well done Kadie!

Thanks, Gigi!

Rick, when you said you "started snickering," I thought you were referring to something in addition to the sitting dog form in the third photo. *Blush* Hilarious! Hilarious!

In the early stages while growing in her panterra bowl, this adenium started leaning over, but I left her alone for several months. Then I hung her after trimming her roots so they would callous. She had been hanging for over 2 months and sort of became a fixture...I just had not gotten around to potting her up until a couple of weeks ago. By then she was emaciated and wrinkled from lack of water, but that didn't stop her from blooming.

I planted her in this ceramic bonsai bowl and did some pruning, but need to do more I think. She has plumped up nicely.

Doesn't she kind of look like a reclining lady?

She does Kadie and I love her natural leaning style, shows great in that bonsai bowl.

@Rainbow, I am wondering what happened to "Gigi" and "Dr Dawg", I miss all these posts.

He's about 21 months old but still hasn't produced blooms...will pop the cork when it happens! Rolling on the floor laughing
