Here is comparison photos of Hoya danumensis ssp. Amari and Hoya blashernaezii ssp. Siariae, which as luck would have it are both flowering at the same time.

Hoya linearis can take it wetter than I had ever imagined. All summer long it hung from a Maple tree in my back yard with a saucer, and it was subject to the rainiest summer on record. The media was almost constantly saturated, but it did not slow it down at all. Even the squirrels trying to bury peanuts in the pot didn’t faze it!

These two plants have one thing in common; they are at their absolute peak, and I doubt I will ever have these two look as good as they did on this October day.

Here is Hoya versteegii from early October basking in the sunlight of a beautiful day.

These flowers are simple, clean, fragrant, and just lovely! The buds next to it are from H. cutis-porcelana. I don’t think this plant has been out of flower one day in the past year!

It is really quite hard to beat the fragrance of this one in a humid grow tent, or in the evening on a windowsill in the house.

Soon we will begin our discussion of Hoya tannaensis; Here is a comparison photo of it and Hoya darwinii. H. tannaensis is on the top and H. darwinii is on the bottom.

These Flowers have nothing in common other than they were both flowering at the same time.

Around a month after H, versteegii put on a massive flower display, it has yet another over the top floral extravaganza. Below the plant from this morning:

Hoya golamcoana has barely held on over the past few years, but I’m really glad that I have kept it around as I have always really liked it. It is a very close relative of H. cumingiana, which is on my 10 best list, the flowers are sweet scented, and is just enough different that it warrants being in everyone’s collection.
