I never thought that I would bloom this plant again as it is one of the most difficult of the Macgillivrayi Complex for me to grow. Anyhow, somehow it flowered again for me so here you are:

I am so happy to say that I have managed to flower this difficult to bloom plant one more time. This go around it was done on a windowsill in the regular house.

I haven’t flowered this one in about a year so it is nice to see again. The flowers are very fragrant as so many of these vericillata’s are.

This is such a crazy difficult Hoya for me to grow, that I have to celebrate its flowering. The blooms are slightly differently colored than the flowers on the much easier growing smooth-leaved clone.

Hoya vangviengiensis is flowering like crazy in the greenhouse right now. Here is a photo of the blooms from yesterday:

One of the problems with putting plants outside is that you will inevitably pick up some not so welcome visitors. I have had ants take up residence by the hundreds sometimes in a pot of Hoyas. I am hoping this does not happen this year!

I have come to really love this easy care plant that flowers so easily. It is hard to get a real appreciation of the flowers unless the plant is practically tipped upside down!

Grow lights have really messed with the natural cycle of autumn flowering for this species. It is now flowering in the summer greenhouse. Also, I have never had two flowerings in the same year for this plant. So we celebrate it!

Hoya flagellata is really just a narrow-leafed H. caudata, but I have yet to change its name. I have had this plant now for around a decade, and I am surprised myself that I still have it. Anyhow, it flowered again this morning, but because the lights come on so early in the morning, I can’t really catch it fully reflexed. The flowers are still pretty cute though!

Hoya stenophylla does not produce much of a flower, but because hardly anyone has bloomed this plant, I will celebrate it!
