Hi
I really like the leaves on this hoya.My plant keeps growing peduncles and then they just fall off.No turning yellow or anything.I just find the peduncle on the floor.Not sure why this is happening but hope it will flower for me soon.
Will you show some photos when the flower opens.

Cindy

Hiya Pug,

Congrats, it's going to be lovely w/ that hint of pink. Oh, to be a Hoya growing in FLA ... sigh

WOW!!! Even the buds have a beautiful color!!! You must post some pictures after they bloom. Pugs. I wonder if the flowers have a blush on them. Do you know? Your a lucky girl! I'm still in a mad search for the 'Royal Flush'. I'm determined to find it. I go to Home Depot and Lowe's so much. I walk straight to the tropical plants look and then leave. I bet they are wondering what my deal is. Only other hoya freaks could understand :)

Congratulations Pugs!!! I'm very excited for you!!!

Cindy, I've had a couple of other hoyas do the exact same thing, the whole peduncle just falls off. I'm not sure either what causes this to happen on some hoyas. I'm sure it will re-grow new ones and bloom for you real soon.

Thanks PG, lol...very funny!

Thanks Tish, I hope you find one soon...don't feel too bad, to this day I've yet to see any of our big box stores carry this hoya. If it wasn't given to me I would be in the same boat as you. Hope you find it soon.

I will post pics when it opens...I'm not sure what the color will be when it opens as I've never seen a picture of it before. It will be interesting to see if any of the pink will show up once its opened?

Can't wait for the pics Pug! My speckled is blooming like mad but I don't have a Royal Flush, no space. Maybe when I do some rearranging I'll pick one up...

I dropped whole peduncles on my polyneura last summer, every one. I think it was a little too hot, I moved it to a slightly cooler window so my fingers are crossed that this is the year!

Tish, have you made friends with the plant folks at Lowe's and Home Depot? The gentleman at my Lowe's said that if there was something in particular that I wanted he would try to get it for me (try being the operative word). Unfortunately, I have pretty much exhausted the EA hoyas.

I'm sorry I can't buy up all the Royal Flush here and send them to everyone who wants one!

Cassidy

The buds are beautiful, Nancy!

Kelly

Congratulations! beautiful buds!

WOW! Can't wait to see that one in full bloom!

Carolyn

Cassidy, I've called or approached the head of the indoor plants at every big box store, ie. Home Depot and Lowe's, in a 50 mile radius and they promise to call me if they get one. I still stop in when I pass one :)

Tish

Thanks everyone!!

Finally opened this morning...thought I'd post a picture. Similar to my snow caps but with a little more pinkish hues.

How nice Pug, such a sweet delicate looking flower. The plant is pretty too. Thanks for sharing.

Those flowers are just plain cute. I wonder if any of these new Hoya lacanosa selections are going to show up in any Canadian stores?

Mike

Nice looking flowers & plants, I haven't seen the Royal Flush around here.

Thanks Maid, Mike and Jan. Jan, I haven't seen them here either...if not for a kind friend I wouldn't have it either.

Mike, I hope it shows up in your area.

That's beautiful!!! Wow! Hope we get those here, soon!

Carolyn

Very nice!!! I love the foliage on that one.
You guys are so lucky to just walk into a home depo and buy these beauties! anyways I love it!

Sooooo pretty!!! It appears that the blush on the blooms mimic the areas where the blush was on the buds!!! And as we all know, the foliage is just lovely. Makes me drool Pug. I hope we are all lucky enough to find the 'Royal Flush' near us this season. GOOD LUCK EVERYONE (me included)!!!

~Tish~

That really is pretty! I love lacunosa! Haven't seen that one around here yet.
Kelly

Ooh, pretty! I actually do have a Royal Flush, but it too was a cutting. I've never bought a hoya from a store, only online or trades, mostly trades. I've never seen anything I want from a store yet, I go looking and there aren't any hoyas at my Lowe's. Guess I don't get there soon enough. Mine is not big enough to bloom, but now I know what I have to look forward to! Can't wait!

Thanks you guys! They really do seem very elusive around here too...I've yet to see one in any of the stores.

Hi Nancy!

These are so beautiful!

It's almost hard to belive it's a flower.

JoJo

Thanks Jojo...and I just love your Bella blooms, congrats!

I have to get me one of these plants.. :)

Hubby says they remind him of somthing you'd see on the old "Mupets" show..LOL!

and the face of a baby chicken.. kinda do..:) Is it fragrant?

JoJo

Hi Jojo, it is very fragrant. Same scent as H. lacunosa. It can be very potent to me when there are several blooms at one time. I have to bring my big lacunosa outside at night, I get a headache from the strong smell,lol...

My royal flush has a tiny peuncle! I can't wait for it to bloom!

Congrats Tigerdawn!! You will love the flower!

Hi Nancy!
Thanks.. I love fragrance! I keep threatening to get a jasmine and train it on the curtian rods.. LOL!

Tigerdawn, Congrats!! The buds are so cute when tiny...

Then tease as they get bigger.. LOL!
