I just disscovered these seed pods on my Adenum Obesium, this is the first time I have ever seen these strange looking pods, can anyone tell me how long it takes for them to mature.
Strange looking seed pods
It all depends on temperature, light, etc. You might cruise over to the cacti and succulents forum and post there. Buried Treasure has tremendous experience with adeniums...

I was just going to say that:)
There are several people on the C&S forum growing Adeniums....there's also some on the Caudiciforms forum growing them who post once in awhile.
Exciting that yours has seed pods!
Wow! How cool is that? I've never seen seed pods on an Adenium before. Great growing!
Plant Files info: http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/527/ just says to bag seed heads for collection, nothing about how long it takes for them to ripen. I would tie some nylon hosiery or nylon netting around those pods so that you don't lose the seeds when they pop open!
I was realy excited when I saw them, I now have the plants in my plant room for the winter, lots of light and the temp. is a steady 72
Well done!
