Hoya vangviengiensis one of the last of the Hoyas in my Hoya Hall of Shame List from a couple of years ago will definitely flower for me. Here are the buds from this morning; we will talk extensively about this species in the coming weeks.

I have come pretty close to losing this one after growing, flowering, and even propagating it from my own seed. This is my last remaining specimen which is growing in homemade Pon. I am in hopes that this one will self pollinate again as I would love to keep this one going.

Here is a new flower comparison photo of Hoya obscura and Hoya leticiae. Both of these plants are in the Acanthostemma Section of Hoyas.

Both of these are flowering right now so here you are:

I don’t think that I have paired these two together before today. I think that they make a nice looking couple!

In honor of Valentines Day, here is a very colorful Hoya obscura happily doing its thing in my basement grow tent.

I was pretty surprised when my miserable Hoya inflata plant with only 4 leaves budded up and flowered. I can’t figure out how to grow this one as I have now struggled with it for years.

If I get lucky enough to flower this one, I will be ecstatic as there have been very few flowerings of this plant in cultivation.

It won’t be long now before I can add another first-time-bloomer to my check list. I predict that these will open very soon, and I will talk extensively about this species in the coming days.

It looks like the Hoya paulshirleyi seedling will flower a lot as I am already on my 3rd set of blooms on this one.
