Adenium obesum (Desert Rose)

I bought a few new pots so spent an hour this morning re-potting a few of my babies ...

 

They are flowering well, mine only has a few flowers, I intended putting it outside again this summer but no chance in the weather we are having this year.

 

@Victoria as well as your interesting plants you do have a nice collection of pots and planters, both inside and out. I find it difficult to get interesting pots. Often they are plastic. My latest purchase was some William Morris glazed pots, but these are not frost proof. But they look good inside and out.

 

Oh wow, would love to see a pic of them please. I have various WM items. All my pots are outdoors. I live in an old dark cottage so cannot have indoor plants.

 

@Victoria they are modern WM pattern pots, but last time I looked for them they had sold out of the ones I had bought, especially the green ones. I bought from the range in the photo below.

 

I do like them and would certainly have one ... or two ...

 

I bought three, different colours and sizes. They are a good shape, being fluted, so that you can use an inner plastic pot. I do use terracotta pots too and plant directly in them, but in this damp climate they soon go green on the outside.

 

The Big Five are loving the heat ...


First blooms ...

 

They are flowering well Victoria.

 

Yes, I am very chuffed with them. As you know, I started these and my Hibiscus after my operations and mini strokes as I could not deal with the garden in general and had to have something to tend to as I cannot walk unaided. It is still a problem for me, but I manage an certainly enjoy my new created space when it is not too hot to sit outside.,

 

These were the Adeniums on 1 October ...





We were forecast for thunderstorms and heavy rain, none of which materialised, but they are still in the forecast so I decided the Adeniums should go inside for the Winter.

The last blooms for this year ...

 

Lovely! Do you dry them off over winter @Victoria ?
