Well, if it were me, I'd walk up the road and snap some pictures. As long as you're on the road, I can't see the problem, especially if you focus on the plants, not the house. I've done this sort of thing myself, and I try to take the shots so that the actual location is really unidentifiable...make the plants the focus. When confronted, which has happened to me only once, I was able to show the pictures and that they contained nothing identifiable.

Sorry for the long-windedness...I've had this similar situation in Europe, where folks tend to be even more protective sometimes...not of adeniums, though. :)

Rick, I don't think they mind at all if they see you taking pictures of only plants.

I did many times.....sometimes asked for permission and sometimes not.

It was a bit mean of them not to allow a visitor to admire their plants. Should have just taken any pics you could
