Hoya celata Gets Flushed

I feed the plants every time that I water except once a month when I try to flush the substrate with plaint water. Here is Hoya celata in the sink after getting flushed:

Hoya maingayi In Bud!

I have a really nice specimen of Hoya maingayi and will be showcasing it in the coming weeks. I am particularly excited to have found these buds on the plant which has not flowered in over a year. It lives in the regular house so these buds are that much more remarkable. I wish the photo was better, but I think you get the idea.

New Roommates: Hoya linearis and Hoya krohniana

My old heart-leafed lacunosa just got a new roommate: Hoya linearis. Most of the plants out there labeled as Hoya krohniana now seem to actually be sports of lacunosa. My Hoya krohniana that came to me as the Heart-Leafed Lacunosa is probably the real Hoya krohniana as it never gets anything but heart-shaped leaves.

A Very Cool Photo!

This is the coolest photo that I have taken in some time. I have never caught the flowers on Hoya benchaii before they have fully reflexed before, but I just happened to see this and grabbed a quick photo.
