Namaste to all Hive gardeners and nature lovers. 🙏
How are you all? I hope you all are well and in good health. This is the first time that I have bought some flowers from my home terrace garden for you in this community, I hope that your love will inspire me to share the growth and freshness of every plant in my garden with you all.
Today I will introduce you to Desert Rose, my captain of flowers. Although I don't know whether it is right to call it captain or not, it is true that there is no other flower in my garden as tough as Adenium, which remains the same throughout the seasons. The more this plant remains green almost throughout the year even with less care, the more patience is required for its bloom. but as Audrey Hepburn said in his quote "To plant a garden is to dream of tomorrow" I like to grow most of the plants in my garden from seeds, it takes a lot of time but it gives many times more pleasure when the seeds grow into plants.
I generally use clay cups for seedlings. There is no special reason for this, just in my house on weekends we have morning tea in these clay cups. So every week I have a lot of cups that I use for seedlings instead of throwing them away. As you can see in the images below, how some time ago I sowed the seeds of Desert Rose in a similar cup.
This is how Adenium (dessert rose) seeds look like.
This is its one seed with hairs both side.
By holding and twisting it a little, its hair gets separated, after which it becomes easy to sow it.
In the above image you can see the clay glass in which I have filled sand and sown this seed at a depth of about 0.5 to 1 inches.
and sprinkled some water.
I do not have the pictures of germination in the same clay cup but around the same time I sowed its seeds in a big bowl of clay in the same way and you can see the pictures of its germination below.
Almost all the seeds I sowed germinated and are still growing beautifully.
And now I will show you the plant from which I got so many seeds of Adenium. Yes, I did not buy its seeds from anywhere, rather I got many of its seeds from one of my fully-grown plants.
This is the plant that I was talking about.
In the images above you can see the pods that produce adenium seeds. After growing completely, these pods dry up and open on their own, and from inside it emerge those hairy seeds of Adenium which I showed you in the initial images.
And I would like you to see these beautiful pink dessert rose flowers and if you do not have this plant then bring it to your home because it's not only beautiful to look at but as per its auspicious belief it also attracts positivity, wealth, and happiness.
That's all for today. Thank you for reading and supporting my blogs dear Hive buddies. I hope you will enjoy this blog too.
All the above photos are of the rooftop garden of my house and were taken with my OnePlus phone.
Take very good care and stay blessed!
🙏
