This pattern of moving the plant around trying to find the perfect location for it went on for a long time – five years to be exact. It had dozens of peduncles over the years which would never bud up and inevitably yellow and fall off. Finally in the summer of 2018, I hung the plant directly outdoors. It looked terrible after a winter inside, and to add insult to injury, the squirrels took a liking to it and chewed the heck out of the leaves. I was close to throwing the entire plant out. More tomorrow. Below the flowers of Hoya thailandica:
