Hoya pulchra was discovered March 22, 2016 at 1,000 meters in elevation in De Leon. Mindanao, Bukidnon Province, Philippines.

As soon as the day length begins just slightly increasing Hoya vangviengiensis starts flowering and will likely flower all summer over and over again. I give it almost no care, and it lives in a pretty cold and dark window in a spare bedroom.

Photos can’t really show all of the flowers on this plant, but I estimate there are at least 60.

In the hundreds of Hoya patella flowers that I have had over the past 15+ years, I have never had one show this color before:

The fastest I had ever flowered imperialis from cuttings in the past was in 12-14 months; this one flowered in nine. An all time record for me, and one that I am very unlikely to best. Here are the opened flowers from this morning:

I chopped up and restarted my H. imperialis Rauschii at the end of May last year. I kept two cuttings and it looks like one of them will flower very soon.

I started my large H. danumensis plant over last summer, and here are the first flowers on a much reduced plant:

I started Hoya versteegii over from cuttings about a year and a half ago. These are the first flowers of its reincarnation. It is one of the Hoyas that I talk about that can literally flower itself to death once it gets going.

Hoya calycina ‘Stargazer’ decided to put on yet another show, budding up right after the last set of flowers fell off. I personally don’t believe this to be good for the plant and could be the reason that the plant seems to go downhill after repeated flowerings.

I’m trying to capture this one in its best light, because it will not be long before I am forced to chop it up as it is really becoming to difficult to handle at its current size.
