Adenium

July 4, 2008

This is one of the Adeniums I got from buried treasures. It seems like the larger ones are healthier than the newly grafted ones. Some of the newly grafted Adeniums I have bought from them have died. :(

This one is doing well.

Strawberries

July 4, 2008

I like strawberries.  I had plans of raising lots of them, but, the birds seem to beat me to them.  This year, the birds, so far, have stayed away.  These strawberries aren’t very sweet.  They are good though.

More Adeniums

I got these Adeniums from Wal-Mart.  I think they are kind of pretty.  They are nothing super special, but, they are pretty.

My Adenium Seedling

July 4, 2008

This is one of the seeds I planted last year from rare exotic seeds. I think it’s doing pretty well. The blooms aren’t anything special, but it is special to me  since it was from my first batch of sprouted Adeniums. This was a seed that was labeled as “Dark Forest”.

Drosera

My little drosera.

Plumeria from Home Depot

July 4, 2008

I splurged and bought some already blooming Plumeria from Home Depot.

Pink Plumeria

Newly opened.

Close to the end of the bloom.

A combination.  Actually, I don’t understand, these whiter color blooms are a few days old and the two darker pink, slightly lavender blooms opened yesterday, and as you can see the bloom in the bottom right is a darker pink.  Does temperature and humidity determine the bloom color?  I guess I shall google it and see. :)

Red Adenium Hybrid

July 4, 2008

My Red Adenium hybrid today.  The blooms open up with a black edge and a pretty deep red.  As the days go by the flower color fades.  I don’t know if this is completely normal, or that our AZ sun is just so blinding that it bleaches the petals.
