Pink flowers - Plant Encyclopedia Results (Page 5)

The first double flowered variety of Adenium that we obtained was bright red color. After growing simple pink varieties, it seemed the most exotic flower. Soon enough other colors were hybridized and white and pink double flowers came to the market. Within just a year or two after that, all the sudden all kinds of colors appeared, including striped, dotted, spotted... The rainbow of hybrid adeniums nowadays is unbelievable!

Adeniums have many spectacular hybrids. The basic culture is very similar to orchids. A small pot with excellent drainage is a must. Adeniums do not like both over-watering or drying-out. There is a little secret of how to create a weird shape of the base: lift the plant a bit every time you re-pot the plant, so that the upper part of roots will be a little exposed. The plant will form more roots that will go down. To make your plant develop a large swollen base/trunk, you'll need a good quality fertilizer. Fertilizer requirement for swelling up trunks is also used to increase flowering. It shouldn't be too high in nitrogen, the middle number should be the highest. Never apply fertilizer directly on roots and do not liquid feed when a plant is thirsty: always water first slightly to avoid root burn and leaf drop. Do not wet leaves. Adeniums need lots of light for heavy flowering. Most hybrids and species start blooming in the spring when the conditions are warm and days get longer, and continue blooming through the fall and winter in warmer climates. Adeniums like a neutral to hard water. Acidic water tends to sour the soil too fast and may cause root rot. Water plants preferably in the early morning, and allow them to drink up throughout the day. Watering can be done daily to every few days. Never allow your plants to sit in a saucer of water, but don't let them to dry out too often - this causes adeniums to go into early dormancy.

Adenium (Desert Rose) 'Arrow' has sharp pink petals with bold crimson lines converging toward the center, creating a striking star-shaped bloom.

Adenium 'Pra Rod Mary' is a cultivated adenium hybrid originating from Thai breeding programs, selected for its refined floral form and balanced growth habit. It develops a swollen caudex with smooth gray bark and supports a compact, branching crown that typically reaches 2 to 4 feet in height when mature. The flowers are medium to large, single to semi-double, with warm apricot to soft yellow-orange tones layered beneath pink to rose margins and streaks, creating a complex, softly blended color pattern. Blooming occurs repeatedly during warm months when light and temperature are stable, and plants often flower well even at a relatively young age. Foliage is medium green, elliptic, and seasonally deciduous in response to cool or dry conditions.

This adenium prefers full sun to very bright light, fast-draining sandy or mineral-based soil, and careful watering that allows the root zone to dry between soakings. Growth is moderate, accelerating in warm weather. Cold tolerance is limited, with damage possible below 40F and serious injury near 32F; frost protection is required.

Adenium 'Thong Samsee' - elegant double flowers in soft creamy-yellow shades with gentle red highlights, giving a delicate, glowing appearance.

Adenium 'Black Amaryllis' striking double flower with deep crimson edges blending into creamy white, resembling a painted amaryllis. A true showstopper for warm, sunny spots. 'Black Amaryllis' Desert Rose often opens with pale pink to nearly white flowers that deepen gradually as the bloom matures. The final intensity of the dark pink to burgundy pattern depends on growing conditions, with cooler temperatures tending to enhance darker tones, stronger light producing richer coloration, and plant nutrition and moisture also influencing pigment development. Natural genetic variation within this hybrid line can further explain why some flowers remain relatively light while others become much darker.

Adenium 'Bo Tun' - elegant double flowers with soft pink tones and vivid crimson accents for a refined, classic look.

Adenium 'Carmen' is a cultivated adenium hybrid with medium to large double flowers composed of overlapping petals that form a full, structured bloom. The base color ranges from soft blush pink to deeper rose, and the ideal form shows a distinct dark red to burgundy edging that clearly outlines each petal and deepens toward the center.

Adenium (Desert Rose) 'Best of Siam' variegated with bright pink double flowers and striking green-and-white foliage. Compact and ideal for containers in warm climates.
