How can you read your beloved RHS encyclopedia with your head up your ass,
Franzy? You obviously don't have enough sense to check things out for yourself rather than depend on the second hand lame opinions in some hack picture book. "Franz Heymann" wrote in message ... "Cereus-validus..." wrote in message . .. "Franz Heymann" wrote in message ... "Stewart Robert Hinsley" wrote in message news In article , Franz Heymann writes "Matthew J.E. Durkin" wrote in message ... Hi All, I have just germinated a desert rose seed, the seedling is about 3" tall now with 2 leaves on top. I still have it in my propagator. I am totally ignorant about this. What is a desert rose? I know it only as a mineral. See for example the Hamlyn Guide to Minerals, rocks and fossils. It's a name for Alygoyne hakeifolia, and also Aeonium obesum. And (with Sturt's name in front) Gossypium sturtianum. I guess it's the Aeonium which is meant. According to the RHS encyclopedia it is Adenium obesum which is the desert rose. According to the same book, the only Aeoniums listed are arboretum, haworthii and tubuliforme You better get rid of that RHS encyclopedia of yours, Franz. Its loaded with mistakes. Thanks for the advice, but I'll stick to the RHS book. That's Aeonium arboreum and Aeonium tabuliforme not the gogglty gook you wrote. There are many more species in the genus than just the three you mention. Google on the combination containing both phrases "Adenium obesum" "Desert rose" and you will find 3,800 reasons why I will stick to the RHS book rather than your flawed opinions. Franz |
