The cool basement doesn’t seem to be hindering Hoya undulata from flowering. I just have to be careful of overwatering it this time of year. Here is a quick photo from this morning:

Hoya tannaensis is one of those Hoyas that once it starts flowering, it just won’t stop. The flowers are just so darned impressive that I can’t help but feature them here. I think that the very cool conditions of my basement tent makes these flowers almost totally red as opposed to their usual mostly white with a red accents.

I’ve had a lot more impressive floral displays on this one, but any time H. macgillivrayi decides to bloom I will take it!

This plant has not been out of flower once since it first flowered late last summer. Here is a snapshot of some flowers from this morning:

I continue to be pretty impressed with how well these dried blooms come out of the drying process. It is interesting that while H. desvoeuxensis is very pink when on the plant, it dries almost black. My next batch of dried flowers will include H. patella. It will be interesting to see if the same thing happens. I was happy the H. cholorleuca’s corona retained its green hue after drying.

I love this photograph of a Hoya chloroleuca flower sitting on top of Hoya amicabilis blooms. I just happened to notice that this chloroleuca bloom has six points – that is a first!

The title pretty much says it all! It almost looks like a spider guarding its young.

I don’t think that I have ever featured these together before, so here you are:

Hoya amicabilis and Hoya medusa flowers are pretty close to the same size.

I haven’t flowered Hoya amicabilis in awhile, and don’t know how much longer I will keep this difficult to cultivate plant around so I am starting a series of flower comparison photos.
