Crimson Concubine

2009-11-23T22:06:16Z

This has a most startling contrast of colours, quite the best I have as yet
seen. However, it is difficult to propagate, less than 50% of grafts take,
but I still like it - possibly I may register it as 'Crimson Concubine',
what do you think?

WOW david--it looks great--I had thought about doing that to mine as it has
gotten leggy--now I will go ahead and do it.

Result of Pruning

2009-11-23T21:15:21Z

I don't usually prune my Adeniums. However, some were getting very "leggy"
so I cut some of them back to see what would happen. This 'Uranian' x
'Spindrift' was prunated about three months ago.

Lovely bloom David, I love the strong red stripe - and there is nothing
wrong with the star shape - I happen to love the 'star shaped' ones.

I took this photo a few minutes ago. The scarlet stripe is very prominent
pity about the star shape, but the colour is exceptional:

I agree, Chris, that the owner should be the one to complain, however, if
that is not happening, it only takes a few seconds to report a problem. I
referred them to the posted page of the Adenium Group. I continue to
attempt to reach somebody who will allow us to have some imput about not
only stolen photos, but phonies too. I don't mind the little time it takes

If the owner of the photo complains the auction is likely to be taken down
straight away. It's not realistic to expect eBay to act on third party
complaints.

We must stop this theiving fraudulent company. I have just noticed that
they have taken our home page photo and given the cultivar a name. If you
look carefully you will see the copyright symbol and Ashish's name

Some New Seedlings

2009-11-19T20:01:07Z

The first photo is not a new seedling but is a wonderful colour combination.
The photo of *Oncidium ampliatum *is on a mango tree next to my adeniums
which you can see in the background. This plant was rescued after a gale
blew it from a saman tree.

The last photo is quite the most orange coloured cultivar I have as yet

This seedling flowered for the first time this week. It looks very like a
swazicum hybrid, but the flower is smaller and with a wonderful colour.
Also it is has pollen; whether this is fertile will remain to be seen -I

Re: What constitutes a picotee?

2009-11-08T20:33:05Z

When I was a child I used to grow border carnations and I think the first
flower which hooked me onto them was a superb semi-double white with a
pencil picotee callee 'Eva'. However, if you look at any canation show
schedule you will see classes for white ground picotees and different
classes for yellow ground picotees.

RE: What constitutes a picotee?

2009-11-08T19:48:08Z

No single organization has the authority to dictate the definition of picotee, but in common usage the majority of horticulturists use the term for a narrow edge of color on WHITE or at least pale petals. Two colors on the same flower is more often called a bicolor, while white and another color are usually not. I have not seen anyone try to determine what "narrow" means, but I agree that Yasmin's flower needs to be called some other description. I myself would not call it a bicolor either.
