Adenium Blogging

My Black Orchid Desert Rose has finally bloomed.

It’s actually been a tough year for my Desert Rose plants. I changed the location of my largest one, a Uranus variant, because it is difficult to move around. I thought it might do well out in our front yard, unfortunately it hasn’t gotten enough sun to cause it to bloom. With the peak of the Summer well behind us, this will end up being an off year for it.

Earlier this year, I lost my White Desert Rose. It just seemed to rot out inexplicably.

That leaves my Red and Black Orchid varieties. The Red is pushing a few more blooms, and the Black Orchid has finally bloomed:

Still, overall it’s been an off year for my adeniums.

Must be a bad year all around … my 4 remaining Adenium Plants have been miserable and struggling … NO flowers at all. I’ve been happy to have ‘leaves’ !!

I initially blamed it on neglect because of my injury … now, perhaps … my conclusion is that the season has not been favorable for the species. I’ve refreshed and repotted all of my plants and can only hope for improvement … time will tell …
