How can we make yellow stay longer or more persistent? From our 3 year works, we have discovered that “orange” pigment could help yellow get staying longer and not fade down in 2-3 days after blooming. That means the “ORANGE” was the answer. On year 2007, we had Adenium cultivar called “THE PEACH” and her petal was a creamy orange. One year later, we stopped making yellow by using white with yellow throat inside. We’ve started using this Orange cultivar to develop new yellow Adenium instead. This was point break.

The legend of Orange adenium "THE PEACH"
|

|
Generation - We use “THE PEACH” crossing with “CLARET” (randomly messy red & white looks) and the result was “SEXY LOVER”; changeable color on 3rd day blooming and messy red looks almost the same as “CLARET” parent. Unfortunately, the “ORANGE” was still not shown in this generation.
|
The 2nd Year Generation - We crossed “CLARET” again with “SIAM YELLOW PIONEER” (illuminate yellow decorating with fresh red stripe. We needed to make “SEXY LOVER” to absorb the yellow from this “SIAM YELLOW PIONEER”. The result was very satisfied; we got new cultivar with pretty solid yellow and splash red all over petals. We gave her a name with “YELLOW DAZZLER”. This was our first start on “FLAMMABLE” looks’s making. The 3rd Year Generation - As I said, to make Rosy Adenium is very easy. The key to make beautiful Rosy Adenium is the beauty of Single Petal Adenium using as mother. This time we used Rosy Adenium : “RED SUN” as father (pollen) instead of Rosy Adenium “DOX XON” (the first release of Rosy Adenium) because “RED SUN” has nice fresh red and thicker petal. The result from this crossing period is very much satisfied with our goal set; she came up with flammable looks on multi-overlapping petals. I really love her very much. ok, this is our sharing work with new adenium’s revolution. Now we can create this new Adenium color just happen in this planet. The "BLUE" is also color of dream. This color is pretty hard to make. As I said, mixing adenium colors is like cosmetic on your face. Sometimes, we didn't make our goal success but we've never give up.We hope that we can create many new colors like full blue, brown, green, etc in a couple years and also you can do too!
