Over the next couple of months the pattern of getting a new couple of leaves followed by a peduncle, aborted buds, and finally the loss of the peduncle repeated itself. Finally in April of this year (2020), I got a peduncle that buds actually started developing on and they kept on growing. The buds were fascinating to me as they had these incredibly long calyxes unlike anything that I had ever seen in Hoya buds before. These can best be seen in the second photo below:
