Hoya celata managed to bud up and flower as the days are quickly growing much shorter here in October.  This plant now resides in the regular house, and seems to like the conditions.

Hoya walliniana was not a very easy growing Hoya, and unfortunately I did lose the plant, but fortunately not before I was able to flower it.  I would recommend the plant to advanced growers as it is not suited to beginners.  The plant was not forgiving of mistakes, and when I tried to save it through taking cuttings, I was not successful.  If I ever get the chance to try the plant again under different conditions, it might well fare much better.

Hoya walliniana was stress flowered.  I have had a number of Hoyas over the years that flowered under stress.  It sometimes is a plants last gasp at being able to save itself, hoping to be pollinated, and set seed before it dies.

I constantly struggled with Hoya walliniana over a two year period.  For every two new leaves grown, I would lose one.  The one saving grace was the phenomenal leaf coloration. Below you can see the leaf color and the coarse bark it was grown in:

Hoya walliniana came to me from Aleyagarden in Thailand during that unfortunate period when I was attempting to grow all of my Hoyas in coarse orchid bark.  I could not keep the humidity high enough to keep the bark moist enough, or so I thought.  I watered too frequently and caused much root rot.  Hoya walliniana was a casualty of that period and suffered mightily.

Hoya walliniana is a native of Borneo (Sabah and Sarawak) in lowland forests where it is common in very wet environments.

Hoya walliniana was named for the Swedish Hoya collector Pierre Wallin.

Hoya walliniana was published by Dale Kloppenburg and Torill Nyhuus in 2003.  Christine Burton claimed that Hoya sipitangensis and H. walliniana were the same plant, but Kloppenburg claims the flowers are much smaller on Hoya walliniana.

Having grown both plants I can say that the flower size is not much different, but H. sipitangensis is a much easier grower and H. walliniana has more colorful leaves.

It has been kind of slow around here so it is time I pulled one of my first-time bloomers out of the vault.  I first flowered Hoya walliniana about a year ago.

I received Hoya sp. AH-014 as a very small plant in May of this year and it made the trip in good condition, because of its thick fleshy leaves.  The thin-leaved Hoyas did not fare nearly so well.  I would encourage any one ordering from Thailand for your first time to stick with thick, or hard-leaved species as they will likely make the trip in good shape.  Here is a photo of the entire Hoya sp. AH-014 plant after about 5 months:
