Both parents were raised from seeds kindly supplied by Dr. Mark Dimmitt.
This seedling has proved to be an excellent parent.

Crimson Concubine
|
| |
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?

Result of Pruning
|
| |
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.

Star of Happiness x Star in Style
|

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

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... more »

Some New Seedlings
|
| |
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... more »

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... more »

| |
The Royal Horticultural Society's Dictionary of Gardening defines a picotee
as: "Picotee - applied to flowers with a thin band of contrasting colour at
the edge of each petal". Note the word thin. Yasmin, most of your recent
photos could in no way be called picotees, they are bi-colours. Here are... more »
