Beautiful MJ. It looks like mindorensis can bloom many times on a peduncle from the looks of all the rings - very nice. Doug http://vermonthoyas.com Quote | Post #898629 (3)

Both very pretty. Looks like you have another set of buds in mindorensis picture. Quote | Post #898700 (4)

I rarely have hoyas bloom for me, and this one is a rather new acquisition, so I'm pretty excited to see it flower, and it smells like delicious caramel! (nectar tasted yummy too!) Variegated H. DS-70 (EPC-538) And H. thomsonii 'splash leaf' (I don't know the proper name) is beginning to bud and hopefully will open soon. Perception is Unique! Quote | Post #898708 (5)

I love your DS-70 Lali! I wasn't even aware that there was a variegated one I hope my darned thomsonii decides to bloom for me one day. http://vermonthoyas.com Quote | Post #898724 (6)

Lovely blooms MJ! You really have cracked itwith this hoya-growing lark, haven't you! Always loads of delicious blooms.. Lali - stunning colour on your DS70 - it even looks like caramel Doug, fingers crossed for your thomsonii! (even moisture sorted mine out ) Quote | Post #898733 (8)

...oh that plicata is rather nice Carol! Any scent?? My two pennyworth: Hoya pandurata (sorry the picture isn't too great) .and for those of you who remember me moaning that engleriana didn't flower last year after my bathroom was remodelled...well, the mirror is now back on the wall, and she seems to like it again! Vanity!! Quote | Post #898757 (9)

Thanks Doug, Here is a shot of the foliage http://www.flickr.com/photos/begonias-photos/7421723706/ @ Melann, I purchased it as an unrooted cutting just about a year ago. Perception is Unique! Quote | Post #898872 (13)

HoyaDoug Aug 3, 2012 6:03 AM CST Name: Doug Lamoille County, VT

Beautiful Lali! Julie, congrats on your engleriana blooms - the size of the blooms compared to the size of the leaves is huge! I never heard of Hoya pandurata, which is lovely as well. Carol, beautiful flowers as always! Doug http://vermonthoyas.com Quote | Post #898960 (14)

JulieK Aug 3, 2012 6:58 AM CST Name: Julie Kennedy UK

Doug, Engleriana has tiny flowers - but I suppose the leaves are pretty tiny too!! They always seem to be in 4's, no more, no less Pandurata is one that you should add to your collection - much like a small lobbii, and sweetly but lightly scented. A better picture for you. This is just a rooted cutting - flowered within 6 weeks of rooting - my kind of hoya Quote | Post #898976 (15)

Beautiful pandurata.....I like the lime green contrast with yellow and also the corona part. This is a good picture for database . There is no picture of this one in database right now. [Last edited Aug 3, 2012 8:58 AM CST] Quote | Post #899013 (16)

Here is a photo of Hoya lasiantha (Thank you Dee!), which just bloomed. All but two of the buds blasted, but at least it bloomed. I will eventually move this plant over to semi-hydro as I suspect it would do far better for me using that growing method. Here is a comparison photo showing an H. lasiantha bloom with a bloom of its close relative praetorii. http://vermonthoyas.com Quote | Post #899670 (17)

JulieK Aug 5, 2012 11:53 PM CST Name: Julie Kennedy UK

Thats lovely Doug, and such a great comparison!! I didn't realise lasiantha blooms were that much bigger than praetorii! Nice Quote | Post #899850 (18)

And Julie I have had my pandurata ove a year and it has only produced 2new leaves Doug I am glad that lasantha has bloomed for mine keep blasting, it is budding again for the 3rd time and the buds keep dropping. Wonder if it is all this rain we are having, every day. Dee Quote | Post #899874 (19)

HoyaDoug Aug 6, 2012 6:02 AM CST Name: Doug Lamoille County, VT

Thanks Julie! Dee, I'm sorry that your lasiantha keeps blasting buds, but glad that its not just me. I had nine buds on that peduncle that were huge, and after I soaked the plant they all started falling off. It was painful to watch I think the buds must be very susceptible to uneven watering. http://vermonthoyas.com Quote | Post #899885 (20)
