Hoya Raspberry Sun Flowering Away

Hoya Raspberry Sun doesn’t know how to stop flowering. The only drawback of this plant is the copious amounts of nectar that it drips. I usually have to either cut the flowers off or clip a cup underneath the flower cluster to catch all of the drips.

Truly Be Careful of What You Wish For

I remember how excited I was when I saw my first bud appear on Hoya stenophylla, and prayed it would make it to term. Now I would really be happy if it never flowered again as I am really over cleaning up the flowers that fall off every day.

Final Day with Hoya yvesrocheri

Hoya yvesrocheri is a plant that not that many people have had a chance to flower. It is somewhat challenging to cultivate, but for collectors it is worth the effort. I love the long narrow leaves and one inch pink flowers, and if you stick with it long enough, it can make a lovely specimen plant. It is probably near extinction in its native habitat so if we can keep it around as hobbyists, I think that it is a noble goal.
