This plant looked pretty peaked for a while but is now growing insanely well after I started watering with tap water. This is a fantastic species when growing well!

I’m only taking this photo for posterity; it will probably never happen again that I get too of the hardest Hoya to flower at the same time.

Hoya darwinii is an ungodly hard plant to grow, and after a couple of years I managed to flower it again. This is the first time that I have been able to take it from a cutting to mature flowering plant. The overall specimen is not that pretty, but for me it is not too bad.

I always wanted to see these two together and now I have!

Hoya undulata is so tricky; if you let the media get too wet it will drop its buds and if you let it get too dry in will do the same. At least it hung on to two flowers after I gave it a drink. It is not very often that I let something get too dry, as I am a chronic over waterer!

I hope that I can keep the tricky Hoya amicabilis going, because you just don’t get this kind of bright yellow on any other Hoya flower.

Here is a pairing that you do not see every day!

I decided to give up some valuable tent space to allow this plant to stretch its legs and put on some more growth. Here is a newly emerging leaf from this morning:

This will be an new clone of H. onychoides for me to flower. I previously flowered regular version and one called Hoya onychoides New AH-307. I have to say that this “New” version seems to be much more vigorous than the 307. Much more on this plant after it flowers.

My large Hoya kanyakumariana is not doing that well, but I started a few cuttings this year and low and behold one of them actually budded up!
