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

david.clu...@gmail.com (David Clulow) — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 20:01:07 UT

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

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.

madimm...@earthlink.net (Mark Dimmitt) — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 19:48:08 UT

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.

Hi David -

Your flower is surely a beauty and a credit to your breeding program
particularly if it is unique and grows well. If you are asking me if I
prefer yours to the Thai 'Volcano', I do like the appearance of yours
more. I'm not enough of an expert to know if yours is unique or not. I
say this without knowing anything about the rest of the plant or its

What constitutes a picotee?

david.clu...@gmail.com (David Clulow) — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 16:05:43 UT

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

Thank you Steve for bringing an important point about nomenclature.
'Volcano' is indeed listed by Adenium Center but it looks to be a rather
inferior cultivar - has anyone flowered it yet?

I took some more photos of my cultivar this morning - - which do you think
most resembles a volcano? My one has actual brilliant orange in the flower.

A Rather Beautiful Pencil Picotee

An Atypical Small Red Plum x Red Sinfonia

david.clu...@gmail.com (David Clulow) — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 11:06:45 UT

This is one of the last of this batch to flower. Most have been very dark
but as you can see this one is very pale and quite pleasing. You can see
that it is going to be very floriferous.

Small Red Plum x Fragrant Delight

david.clu...@gmail.com (David Clulow) — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 10:26:13 UT

This is the first of this cross to flower, which it did this week. I was
hoping to broaded the white picotee of 'Small Red Plum'. I didn't succeed
but the flower is quite pleasing. Hopefully some of its siblings may
produce the result I was hoping for.
