What’s Coming Up In the Next Couple of Months

I have been trying to put a new post into this blog every day, but that is becoming increasingly tough to pull off – I still have to find time to take care of the plants that I love so much.  I will still try to get in at least a couple of posts a week, but it probably won’t be every day.  I have another couple of how to videos in the works, and in the next 5-6 weeks I will be adding a new greenhouse and I hope to make a time-lapse video of the entire process – should be really cool if I can pull it off.  I will be adding a section to the site called Hoya Mosaics, which should be a lot of fun; I will also show you how to make them.  I am always trying to find time to take new and better photos of Hoyas – That is what is in the works for now!

It Is a Great Time of Year!

It is truly wonderful that after months of dormancy the Hoyas outside of the growroom are starting to stir.  Here are three photos – Hoya obovata, Hoya cumingiana (Large Leaf), and Hoya pubicalyx (RHP).  These are no namby pampy plants they can survive and bloom without any special care or humidity requirements.  They are all highly recommended plants.

Hoya patella Meets The Easter Kitty

Hoya patella Meets the Easter Kitty is my newest time-lapse video.  This 2 minute movie contains the best ever Hoya patella bloom formation and flower footage that I have been able to obtain.  It will be my last patella time-lapse.  There is also a lot of humiliating cat footage.  I hope you enjoy the film as much as I did making it!

Hoya imperialis Blooming Again!

Hoya imperialis has now been in bloom or bud continuously for months now.  The most incredible plant of all time? – Maybe!  I hate to even mention it, but the only draw back is the copious amounts of nectar that drip from the flowers.  It can be quite challenging to clean it off of what ever it happens to drip on.  I love this plant!!  From this morning; notice the additional buds developing in the background.
