Adenium mixed

Adenium somalense crispum
X Adenium obesum
'Grumbley White'
An easily grown form of the white flowered Adenium obesum with glossy leathery green leaves and ease of flowering. Flowers average about 3 cm across with a greenish throat. Quite floriferous with trusses of 5-7 blooms and buds simultaneously. 
Adenium "Sunset"
A beautiful selection from a cross between Adenium "Highland Red" by Ad. obesum "Bold." A good growing form that branches naturally, even from the base. A characteristic from the Highland Red parent. This particular selection has a bright orange suffusion in its throat that seems to overflow into the outer corolla. Flowers average about 5 cm across and have a distinct star-shaped corolla. Used in breeding to increase orange and coral shades in adeniums. Blooms almost constantly throughout the year.
Stems are very sturdy and erect, with crowded leaves due to short internodes. Flowers are large (9.4 cm, 3.7 inches), deep red, fading slightly toward the throat. It blooms almost 12 months a year, usually profusely except during hottest weather. It has the same parents as 'Crimson Star'.
