Well, what does it look like? A peduncle, which is where the buds would come from, looks like a microphone. It sort of looks like a little stem jotting out of the actual stem. Out of the "microphone head" you would see tiny little balls starting to come out. Those eventually get bigger and longer and then turn into buds, which then turn into flowers. Do a google search for hoya peduncles or hoya blooms and you'll see what I'm talking about.

Also, you might want to check out the link I posted on the bottom where Denise put some beautiful pics up demonstrating the stages of hoya blooms.

Here is a link that might be useful: Bud link

Gabro14,
I took a couple of pixs but don't know how to post them in the message text. Can you help?

Probably the best thing you can do for ANY of your plants is to stop using fertilizer that has ammonium nitrate for the primary nitrogen source. Use a slow release fertilizer that has a source of nitrogen at least 50% or more from nitrate nitrogen and also supplements trace elements and Iron and Magnesium in a 2:1 ratio, like Peters Excell Cal/ Mag water soluble.

Miracle Grow is not the best fertilizer to use for anything.

To post pics, I just go to photobucket.com and download my pics to my album (once you join you'll have an album, and it's free). Then you copy the middle line of text under the picture you want to post (there are 3 lines), and paste the text to your message on here. When you submit the post you'll see the picture.

Ok, Gabro14, I am going to try photobucket. I have to get the photos moved to a different computer and will try posting them once that's done. Thanks.
