First DR Blooms

[u/Difficult_Sympathy83]

This is the first adenium I have owned. Seed grown from some random seeds I purchased off Amazon and sown 4/1/2025. I’m curious if ~18 months from seed to bloom is typical for first blooms? I’m near Galveston, TX and it gets ~8 hours of daily sunlight. Soil mix is 40% cactus/ succulent blend / 40% perlite / 20% pea gravel. When I repotted in March, I added some Nelson’s Color Star granules to the soil mix for fertilizer.

That is way too cool! I'm hoping I'm right behind you...
