Newest Addition to my Family

So my Girlfriend and I go to Home Depot to pick a 4" clay pot for one of my Adenium seedlings that needs to be transplanted. So she says well I don't have any change. Cost of pot was .78. I say lets just look around and see what they have. Deep in my heart hoping to find an Adenium. Well low and behold look what I found. So we originally meant to spend a dollar. Because we had no change we spent 22$. Not so bad I'm proud of this purchase.

Wow...that is wonderful purchase. That is huge caudex and nice light pink. I am sure the caudex will be bigger whenever you ready to raise it up.

I am very happy for you.

Hello, JR!

I did pretty much the same thing over the weekend. Went to a nursery to pick up a couple of bonzai pots for some of my better looking adeniums when I saw one that I couldn't resist. So I had to get that adenium as well. LOL

Why do they have to be so addictive? I'm driving my friends crazy talking about them. I get the eye roll or glazed look on their faces every time adeniums are brought up.

That is ONE beautiful plant. I think there is going to be a wonderful surprise under the soil by the looks of that caudex. WISH I would have found one like that. Good for you!

Kirk, I try to talk to my (all non gardening or non TROPICAL gardening) friends and they try to change the subject as quickly as I started it. Bummer as I could talk about my adeniums and epiphyllums all day every day. I need a life!

My girlfriend already gives me a hard time about my Adeniums. She laughs when I take picture of my plants for here and Facebook. And I only have four plants in clay pots and eight seedlings I kept inside until the extreme heat went away. I just put them out this past weekend. I know you guys will appreciate the pictures I take. LOL. Here is a picture of the four outside.

I had pictures of the caudex but I accidently deleted them.

Nice little starter collection you got going on there. The HD one looks good repotted in that clay pot.
