#Dorstenia gigas and neighbour #Pachypodium succulentum
at #BotanicalGardens #Copenhagen -
flowers very different,
origins different - #Soqotra and #SouthAfrica
but beautiful side by side.

#Dorstenia gigas is a survival artist.
First plant, grown from seed at home, lost all leaves due to mealy bugs and treatment, yet makes new leaves.
Plant two, at #BotanicalGardens #Copenhagen , looked dead all year - yet it blooms.

Thorough treatment needed for #Adenium and #Dorstenia -
#MealyBugs being the enemy in the dry winter quarter.
Some plants affected heavily. But they always come back.
