Miss Japan adenium, a must have

buried-treasure.net is getting in Miss Japan adenium from Tropica (a wholesale nursery in India)!!! I have been waiting for someone here to get that one. I ordered two. He is also getting in some other unusual ones. This is what Miss Japan looks like.

There is one called Nila Kaan that I had to order. The leaves have a reddish tint to them.
Miss Japan is a little pricier than the others but is also much harder to find.

I bought a Nila Kaan from Phil at Cornell.
Id love to aquire a Miss Japan wow shes a terrific specimen.
He goes by the name Padsnow or snowbelt adeniums

He has been an excellent source of plants and seeds.
Anytime there was a problem he rectified it.

I have delved into grafting them also.
Tricky but fun.

Snowbelt is where I got Ra Ji from and am more than pleased!!!!

Is Tropica Nursery near Harrisburg PA?

No, it is a wholesale nursery in Thailand. Has some real beauties and good quality adeniums. So I was really pleased when Buried-treasure got in a big shipment from them. I had been coveting several off them.

Hey, Malestrom, wish it was!!LOL And they do have some different and WOW plants!

hey senlarrs, there is a nursery near Harrisburg that only does e-business.
They hada 2 day open house this spring.
I didnt go due to health issues.
I was going to order an adenium from them it was around $18.- but so was the shipping!
I wanted to visit and buy in person but was told nopey :(
The $18.- would have covered most of the gas. sigh*

I just looked them up
It was Asiatica Nursery @ http://www.asiaticanursery.com/
This is the adenium I wanted http://asiaticanursery.com/product_info.php/products_id/772?osCsid=9872287c6f4c086569e3f278fb5819c8

Michael, I forgot that one. Am having 'senior years'! LOL That is a beautiful plant but expensive!

ya $28? and like $18 to ship it? cmoooon..... :/

Sweet. I would love to have that one. I would pay the 28 bucks but not that kind of shipping. That is highway robbery. I did get a mahogany one from buried treasure but it is not variegated.
