Adeniums

Post by Johara »

Hello all, it been a while. I received this lovely plant from Adnan and its flowring beautifully. My question is: Is it normal to have two types of flowers from the same plant?

These adeniums are grafted.. the first bloom looks like a wild type which is in my opinion from the root stock while the bloom in the second pic is from the graft..

Thanks Azhar. Maybe Adnan did not mean to give one that has been grafted but I am happy he did :) . Still meaning to come visit your garden. Maybe aft the monsoons (if we get any) and Ramzan.

Johara, all the adeniums with double flowers are grafted just like roses because the rootstock desi adenium has a strong and disease-resistant root system..
