Went shopping yesterday and brought home Angel Wing and Phoenix. Anyone able to share blooms on theirs?

The more leaves this gets the more I worry it's virused. At the same time, I'm intrigued by how different it is. What would you do, keep or toss?

You guys were very helpful in identifying the last Bloom I posted. Anyone know what this one is? Picked up at Home Depot.

I had BarkBox a couple years ago and canceled due to shipping issues. I decided to give it another try last month and it appears I'm going to be dealing with the same problems. I took this screenshot yesterday. Today it has updated to show the box has reached my state at least(Florida) but obviously it didn't arrive yesterday and I don't know when it will arrive.

When this happened with my first subscription they were going to send me a new box but if the first was delivered I would be charged for the replacement. I understand bark is at the mercy of Amazon shipping but I have no problems with Amazon shipping when I order from Amazon.

Is this what I can continue to expect?

I can't decide where I want to trim this. Most all of my other DR are short full canopies and I'm thinking I might want this to be more tree like with fewer branches. What would you do?

Pick this Costa guy up about a month ago. I'm shocked how fast it's growing. (I'm in SWFL) Moved to a 3" pot a few weeks ago and I already see roots in the drain holes. It's twice as thick as it was when I brought it home but not a ton of new leaf growth.

Is it growing this quickly because it's so young or should I expect it to continue growing at such a rapid rate? At what size do they generally start to flower?

I bought this today because I liked the caudex. I noticed it had spent flowers but didn't pay that much attention until after I got it home. Does it have seed pods forming? I don't generally pay much attention when a flower falls off to notice until the pods are bigger.

I'm not normally a big fan of yellow flowers but I'm really starting to like this one. Such a generous bloomer!

My Lowe's got a shipment of Bombay series DR. I bought four of them, this is one. Solid red. What a disappointment!

I took a chance ordering a picotee sold and shipped by Amazon. It spent 5 days in a box while in transit before arriving 6 days ago. It was not rooted in the pot, very few feeder roots, damp soil, paper thin leaves, bent and broken branches, tons of ants and gnats. Decent sized caudex for the size of the plant.

It's 6 days later. The branches have straightened up, it didn't lose many leaves, and even have new growth already. Time will tell if it's actually picotee but I'm I'm impressed.

I left this guy out of the pot too long and now he's dehydrated. Should I remove the leaves to prevent more water loss until it plunps back up? About how long should I expect it to take to recover?

Pot is 5". Was just put back in pot and watered yesterday. Roots look fine, sap is pure white. No rot at this point.

I was given this as a rehab. It had pests, rot, suburn, spider mites, and almost no feeder roots.

It was recovering well when "The Great Florida Frost" happened. I was out of town, it was left out in below 30° f temps.

It later got knocked over and left on its side, causing more sunburn, but it's finally giving me flowers.

I found a few Bombay series with tags this week at my local Lowe's and it made me try to search to find a complete list of the Bombay varieties. I didn't realize how difficult it would be or I would have posted pictures of the other varieties that I saw. Here are the ones I brought home. Citrine, blush ametrine, and Jade Jewel. Please add others in the comments and maybe we can come up with a full list together.

Couldn't resist grabbing this when I was at Lowe's today at lunch. That was 4 hours ago. I let the dogs out an hour ago and it was still fine. I get off work just now to find it like this. It was on one of the full sun tables outside at Lowe's so the conditions are exactly the same. Looks like this one might be a bit dramatic!

Picture 1 is a 10-in pot a year ago. Picture 2 is today, starting to warp an 18-in pot. Never seen a caudex grow this fast!

Anyone able to take a guess at what kind this is? The caudex grows like a beast. It went from a 6" pot to warping an 18" pot in 2yrs.

Apologies if you're seeing this twice, I posted similar in the adenium sub.

Had two DR that got a yellowish caudex with black spots after being allowed to stay too dry for too long. One of the plants recovered pretty much immediately after repotting and is now leafed out and blooming like a champ. The one pictured is still iffy looking.

Caudex is firm with no soft spots. I pricked it multiple places with a needle where the black spots are and the sap is nice and white. Roots look good. It's putting out new growth points.

I'm stumped as to what the issue is with this one. Any ideas?

I live in Florida where it's 100 degrees most of the summer and very humid. We had a very slow start to rainy season and a few of my DR were too dry for too long. Two developed a yellowish look to the caudex with black spots. There are no soft spots, and the roots look fine. If I prick one of the black areas or yellow areas, the sap is pure white as it should be.

Plant #1, I repotted and started watering properly. The spots disappeared quickly, it's growing great and blooming well.

Plant #2, is the one in the pictures. It's starting to put out new growth points but the caudex is still sketchy looking with the yellowish skin and black spots.

Has anyone seen this before and have ideas on what to do?
