I purchased the seeds online from a seller that buys wholesale seed from Africa direct from the grower.
I have purchased 2 packets with 10 multi-coloured seeds in each packet. This will be a trial run for me, depending on how successful I am with them. Hopefully I will eventually grow a variety in my collection of Adenium plants.
This is the link to the website and I can assure you it is worth a look. I had no idea of the variety that is available and it has really set me on a mission to gather a collection. The flowers are beautiful and the structure of the plant is a piece of art.
Adeniums variety of colours- white, black, red, pink, yellow, purple and blue - from seed they can revert to the most common colour which is pink.
