Arabicum which was kept wrapped in a newspaper from January till March.

Very beautiful.Stunning.

Lovely. How come the 4th plant has flowers of two vastly different colours?

The pink one is the bloom of root stock... while the graft has the darker bloom...

Adenium 'Double Santa'.

Beautiful. What's the percentage of adenium you lost in winter?

Awesome

20%. There was 1 casualty out of 5 established plants. The key thing is to refrain from giving them water in the winter season and placing them in a greenhouse when temperatures start dropping. This variety shown above has managed to survive two winter seasons. One should opt for the 'Arabicum' cultivar having more thicker cordex. It's more winter hardy and able to withstand our winters better.

Not sure if the nurseries(except may be at Pattoki) would know the varieties & could distinguish them;would they?
