I once wrote a post that was more of an essay about why I would never try to grow Hoya lauterbachii. At the time, it had never been flowered indoors. As of this writing, it has now been flowered a couple of times in large greenhouses including in California by April Mall. I was happy that the plant I thought I had turned out to be Hoya ciliata; I thought with a little luck and persistence maybe it could be flowered in Vermont.
