Julie Kennedy was kind enough to resupply me with Hoya sp. NS05-055, the sweet little anulata from PNG. I had chopped it all up and sold it off a few years ago, and then everyone wanted it and I had none to offer. Anyhow, it looks like it will flower for me once again. Here are the buds from this morning:
This is only the second time this has happened to me and not for at least 8 years. What is more remarkable is that this Hoya cumingiana seemed to get pollinated while sitting on a windowsill in the regular house. How that happened shall always remain a mystery!
You have to love this plant even when it is not in flower. I took quite a few cuttings of this one to sell this season, but it does not seemed to have hurt it too much. I did discover when starting all of these H. engleriana plants this year that it is much more susceptible to root rot than I previously thought so be careful of over watering this one.
Sitting on the windowsill in the regular house Hoya australis ssp. Oramicola is flowering right now. It did not flower for me last year, but will have a record number of blooms on it this year. Here are the first of many flowers to come:
Hoya Bella Paxtonii seems to like it well enough growing in a window in the regular house as it bloomed there for the first time this morning.
Here is a new flower comparison photo of Hoya gildingii and Hoya dennisii.
Here is a odd couple that look pretty good hanging out together.
It has been quite a while it seems like since I’ve seen this one flower, and I think what they say about absence making the heart grow fonder is true. These are truly impressive flowers!
Hoya sp. UT-033 is one of the few Hoyas that I currently have growing in leca that seems to be doing well. It just flowered in the back of a tent so it was very hard to try to get a photo. Believe me this picture does not do it justice. The flowers are the most delightful shade of apple green – just amazing!
Both of these Hoyas were sitting on the windowsill together in my office and decided to flower at the same time so here they are – Best Buddies!
