Day 267: Adenium "Joyful" joins "Plum Beauty" in filling my kitchen window with its showy flowers now, each bloom 2.5-3" across, albeit held aloft on nearly leafless 16" stems. What these "Desert Roses" lack in the foliage department is more than made up for by their floral displays. That said, daily misting has made an substantial improvement in the quality of new leaves, although I still feel they might benefit from even more frequent misting, maybe twice a day (at least when the window gets the hottest sun). Currently, I'm trying to find the right balance in demands for the spray bottle. Who needs it more? The plants or the kitten? It's become my Weapon of Choice for reminding the small hellcat of his manners.
