Rare To See The Open Flowers On This One

The flowers on Hoya leucantha are only fully open at night. I was lucky to get to this one at 5:00 am when the lights kick on in the morning. Maybe it is not so lucky if you think about it; why am I up so early in the summer time?

It is not everyday that you have this many large flowered Hoya blooms open at the same time so I have to make the most of it! From left to right: Hoya imperialis, stenaokei, Kaimuki, and macgillivrayi.

Final Day With Hoya Seeds AH-138

Hoya Seeds AH-138 is such a gorgeous plant that I am sure that I will be bringing it back in time. The leaves on this one are to die for, and can’t be adequately appreciated without seeing them in person. I want to thank Wil Halstrom for giving me an opportunity to grow this one out. The flowers are a lovely bonus, but the red bordered giant leaves are what this plant is all about! Hoya Seeds AH-138 gets my highest recommendation!

The Flowers of Hoya Seeds AH-138

The flowers only have a hint of scent and last about 5 days in total. This is the first flowering with a minimum of blooms, but I believe that subsequent flowering will produce far more. There are already buds pushing out from behind the first flowers that are much more numerous. The flowers are similar to another AH wild cross – Seeds 002, but are a different color. I love this iridescent pink!
