Trading Seeds

9 years ago

I am new to this forum but not new to my love of the Desert Rose. My original plant is about 6 years old and produces seed pods every year. I have grown some bablies and given some away but I would love to trade for Desert Rose seeds of a different color. I am attaching a picture of mine in bloom and I know it is the kind most people have so there isn't much incentive to trade with me. Does anyone have any thoughts of how to go about this? I have 76 seeds that I just harvested at the beginning of October and a pod that is on the bush and will be opening any day now.

Thoughts are welcome.

gcosta, I do not have any extra seeds to date, otherwise I would send you some.
As you probably already know, getting seed from anyone will not come true to seed.

If you do not find anyone. Get some from Rinoa (Orientadenium) or Ko
(Adenium_ko).
There are a lot of people reporting very favorable results with their seeds.
Although the same can be true with theirs about not coming true, but I feel that the percentages are much higher.

Best of luck,
Rick
