Even with no flowers Hoya stenaokei ‘Dark Clone’ makes a fantastic specimen.

This plant was started over about a year ago, and will flower for the first time since the restart in the next couple of weeks. I have always loved the shiny, highly, glossy leaves on this one that is why I still keep it around.

I restarted this plant only a few months ago from some really lousy looking cuttings that I rooted and inserted into a seven inch pot. Now look at what a handsome specimen it makes.

A closer look at the flowers of Hoya benchai from yesterday:

It took me so many years to flower this one for the first time, and now it simply won’t stop. It has not been out of bloom for months now.

It took a little while to establish, but after only three months from taking cuttings, I have this nice little specimen of Hoya linearis.

Never be afraid to restart a plant if it looks a little lackluster or worn out. Hoya sp. UT-247 was started over as a cutting only 4 months ago and look at how nice it looks now.

Hoya inflata at its peak of showiness.

There are actually five peduncles full of buds on this plant, but only three are visible in the photo. This is the start of a week full of plants that may or may not be in flower or bud, but are at their absolute peak of health and vigor.

I have kept Hoya leticiae for quite a few years now, and started it over last winter. This is the first time that I have grown it as a hanging basket, and also the first time that I have grown it in ambient room conditions. It seems quite happy and just produced its first flower. The photo is not that great because the blooms are so darned small that it is hard to shoot well with just a phone camera.
