Purple Rain after 6 years.

Marie Tran
9 years ago

In the summer of 2008 was the very first time I ordered plants from Thailand. Back then, no seller in US sells double and triple adenium (no popular anyway). I paid average $42 each plant with egg size caudexes. I got myself 9 plants in that order and only 3 still with me.

This is Purple Rain, still very small for 6 long years. The bloom is very dark purple when first open, but the color faded after few days.
