I have to say that this has to be one of the easiest Hoyas and quickest bloomers that I have ever had. The cutting was sent to me by a wonderful grower named Rachel from Michigan. It rooted right off and within two months it flowered from a newly formed peduncle.
Let’s Talk About Hoya Sunrise
Hoya ‘Sunrise’ is an elegant, highly collectable cross between Hoya lacunosa ssp. pallidiflora and Hoya obscura, hybridized by Michael Miyashiro in 1992. The leaves are dark green with visible veins and red flecks. Her is a photo of the foliage:
Hoya sp. Frog Foot and Its Very Near Relative Hoya platycaulis
I’m lucky enough to have both of these flowering at the same time.
For The First Time In Quite A While Hoya sp. Frog Foot Flowers
This plant has been close to death on many occasions, but here I am 5 years after I got the plant, and it not only lives, but flowers on two peduncles at the same time!
Hoya darwinii and Hoya desvoeuxensis
A couple more rarities in flower at the same time.
Hoya darwinii and Hoya thomsonii
I have to make the most of these plants all blooming at the same time. Here is a Hoya darwinii flower sitting on top of a peduncle full of H. thomsonii flowers.
Hoya obtusifolia and Hoya danumensis
Here is yet another photo comparison this time between Hoya obtusifolia on the left and Hoya danumensis on the right.
Hoya darwinii and Hoya obtusifolia In A First
Definitely a first for me to have both of these flowering at the same time. Here is a not fully reflexed H. darwinii on the left, and H. obtusifolia on the right.
Hoya obtusifolia and Hoya desvoeuxensis Together For the First Time
This is probably the world’s first flower photo comparison of these two species.
Hoya carmelae and Hoya obtusifolia Together For The First Time
I was lucky enough with shortening the day length hours to get Hoya obtusifolia to flower for me again this spring. Here is a photo of its bloom held up against H. carmelae.
