Woodpilot,

Since you have a Blogger account why not create a blog where you can post the pictures of your plant? Alternately, you can upload them to flickr or some other hosting service and share the link in the comments.

Hi Wizzy,

I should post pics of another one in the same garden. It has to be at least six feet tall. One of my own is currently blooming and I'll post pics later.

Thanks for stopping by.

Wow, what a fine specimen. I am a cook more than a gardener so my own Desert rose looks sad in comparison. It flowers nicely but I have never paid attention to trimming so it doesn't branch out very nicely. Also I have never seen it produce seed pods. This plant is almost impossible to kill - unless of course you overwater it - hmm and even then I've had my plant recover after being left out doors during the rainy season here in the tropics.

Hi Raju,

Let me know when you post your pic. Can't get enough of this plant myself.

Great to see the pics. I grow my own Adeniums from seed - & successfully too. In winter I have to take great care as temperature plummets close to or blow 0 degrees C. I hope to post some pics of my plants.

the flowers are beautiful! <3 Lindsay

@Diana,

Now you got me wondering too. You should have plenty of pollinators in your area. I mean if the A. obesums in the GPC can be pollinated under glass why not yours. Hmmm.

@Julie,

I got all three of mine at Wal-Mart/Home Depot a couple of years back. Online they are sooo expensive. I only paid three bucks for mine.

@Stephanie,

LOL, it seems garden bloggers get the same plants on their minds at the same time.

@Faith,

Good luck, see comment above to Julie about where I scored mine.

@Garden Girl,

Yeah, I had planned to go back to get a better pic but forgot all about it. LOL @ "Pretty Woman." I had it in my head for days.

@Monica,

In this case, yes, it is. :0)

@Outside in,

Let me know when you post pics of yours.

@Marcy,
Hi, don't mention it. Was my pleasure to visit your blog.

@Gail,
Thanks for visiting and leaving a comment.

@Kara,

The Frangipani is similar in that they are both coveted by indoor growers who like showey flowers. I've never had a Frangipani and wonder how they would do in one of my windows.

@WhisperingWriter,
You don't need to know how to garden, just try a few plants in a window and it will come to you. Like story ideas when you're holding pen & paper.

2009-06-16T20:18:13.390-05:00

Love your desert rose! I just got a cutting from an 'evergreen frangipani,' which is supposedly somewhat like a desert rose but it keeps it's leaves longer and has white blossoms. I think the desert roses are so pretty when they bloom!

2009-06-16T06:38:59.915-05:00

You have some of the coolest plants MBT! I've never seen a desert rose before. They're really pretty. I don't remember seeing them at the conservatory . . . guess that means I'll have to go back! ;)

I'll probably have Sting's "Desert Rose" in my head all day now - (might be a nice change from "Pretty Woman!")

This is so strange. Just this morning when I was watering my plants, I told my neighbour about my Desert Rose that has not produced any seed pod yet and now, I see one here ha ha ;-)

2009-06-15T22:15:08.403-05:00

Very interesting, Mr. MBT -- I've had Desert Roses for years and never had a seed pod. I wonder why? Now that you've piqued my curiosity I'll have to go figure that one out. Mine is in full bloom, but my photo didn't make the cut for the GBBD post today! I'll try again tomorrow.
