    Anyway, I ordered desert rose seeds and have grown a couple before (from China or somewhere). However, these seeds look nothing like the desert roses I have previously grown. Can anybody give me a clue at to what they may become? They are still very young though of course.

    Thanks in advance.

        I should also add that the seed did look like adenium obesum seeds.

        :scratch: Not sure what I think they are to be honest.. Have you sown any daisy type seedsperhaps and labels got swapped maybe.?

        They should be looking like this..

        That's exactly what I have growing in another batch. They germinate as really small fat stubby things. These seem to have made a race for the sun. So I have no idea what these are. As I said, they did look like the proper seeds. So I don't know what they are. Time shall tell I suppose!

        I think you will have to wait and see as you say then..perhaps query where you got the seeds from.. :scratch:

            Yep, I think the seed is slightly similar to look at as well, as I remember, Adenium is white and Dahlia is brown, I think.:scratch::smile:
