Hoya versteegii was discovered around 1913 in Western New Guinea on a Dutch expedition by the ship’s doctor Gerard Versteeg.

Hoya versteegii is probably the nicest plant to come out of Papua New Guinea in the last five years. Tomorrow we begin our discussion!

This is the final comparison photo of the flowers of Hoya icensis and likely the last time you will see this one in Ramblings.

For the lack of a better name we will call this Hoya from Indonesia, Hoya sulawesiana Short Leaf, as the flowers are identical to the ‘King-Leafed’ Hoya sulawesiana.

Hoya sp. EPC-610 aff. acuta has been with me for a number of years now, so for that to happen, the plant has to be a winner!

I can’t get enough of Hoya sp. MT-02; it has become one of my favorite Hoyas of 2023!

These two sets of flowers look great together in my opinion!

Hoya icensis is not a very good growing Hoya for me, and I’m pretty much determined to get rid of the plant, but before I do, I will make the most of its latest set of flowers with a series of comparison photos.

A few days ago I brought you the most impressive flowers in the Acanthostemma Hoya Section with species MT-02. Now I bring you what could be called the least impressive flowers in that section, but after nine long years, I will take them and be very happy about it!

I bought this plant as a cutting from Aleya Garden in Thailand in 2012, flowered it once in 2014, never to flower again until now. Below the entire plant in the summer greenhouse and set of buds; tomorrow the flowers.
