There are many Philippine Hoyas that have one negative trait, and that is that the flowers have a very short life. Hoya cf. palawanica falls into that catagory. These blooms began to fade in only 24 hours.

My plant is now a little larger and Hoya cf. Palawanica has put out a very nice peduncle of flowers this go around. It is a very early bloomer that I can really recommend highly!

Hoya australis ‘Lisa’ has grown exceptionally well this winter and has now gotten to be quite large. It is 38 inches tall and that is most likely as large as I will let it grow.

I have said before that Hoya Patricia may be the best hybrid Hoya to have been created and I stand by that assessment. Here are flowers from this morning:

Here is a photo that I took this morning after giving my Hoya linearis plants a shower. Please excuse the shower accoutrements.

I had to get the most out of the Hoya patella flower that I cut off so here it is against Hoya australis ‘Lisa’:

These are both flowering right now so why not?

Here is a photo of a Hoya patella flower sitting on the Hoya vangviengiensis blooms:

There is not much going on right now so as long as I have multiple flowerings going on, I will continue to show flower comparisons. Here is an actual Hoya australis Lisa flower that I inserted and photographed. It is circled but I think it would have been easy to pick out even without the circle.

Both of these are flowering at the same time – so why not?
