The biggest surprise that I had in Hoya growing in 2026 was flowering Hoya medinillifolia. Here is the second biggest surprise of the year:

Who would have thought that I would end up with a pollination of Hoya microphylla! This phenomena happened with no skill on my part; there must have been some kind of insect in my basement grow tent that made it happen. I have had many dozens of flowers on this species on multiple plants over more than 2 years of owning the plant and it has not happened before. I also have not heard of it occurring with other growers online, so I will go out on a limb and say that it is quite rare. I will be trying to sow these seeds and watch the progress after the pods ripen and rupture. Stay tuned for more reports!
