Callistrophylla...

16 years ago

...is budding up! Took it down this morning to give it its weekly VF-11 bath and a good watering and I was noticing all the new growth. And I saw four tiny peduncles forming. As if that was exciting enough, down at the soil line, there's a peduncle that's actually budding up!

What a blessing to get up to! This morning, I woke to the sun (yes, the SUN - we've had days on end of gloomy, cold, rainy days) coming up and was enthusiastic to work with my plants. Just had to stop and share my excitement!

    Cool Denise,

    Be sure to share a pic when it opens. I'd love to see it.

    I have H. callistrophylla (Gardinos mis-spelled it callistophylla so I thought that's how it was spelled :) Mine got a peduncle early this spring but it fell off. And, I think it's related to the turtle family cuz it grows sooooo slooooow.

    I'm going to look in the picturetrail and have a look at your foliage, I do like the leaves.

    Thanks again,
    Maid~

    Excellent Denise, congrats!!! The blooms look a lot like Finlaysonii, so it will be really neat to see the pictures. I'm very excited for you! I understand the gloomy, rainy days too. The sun just broke out for us this morning after days of cloudy and/or rainy days.

    No how do we know what the correct spelling is? I was spelling it Callistophylla too and that is how it is spelled on hoyor.net as well. Can anyone confirm the spelling?

    Congrats Denise....My buds blasted, but then again they were on a cutting.

    The correct spelling is H.callistophylla.

    Denise, I love the leaves & the buds on that.

  • 16 years ago

    This Hoya has such beautiful leaves but deceptivly small flowers, I was shocked the first time mine bloomed.
    Congrats on the buds Denise. That's kinda neat that the peduncle is right down at the base of the plant.

    Congratulations, Denise....looks great....and I'm happy for you! This is a slow-to start plant, but once it gets going, watch out!! Our weather, like yours and Tish's has been cold, wet, cloudy and miserable...and today looks like more of the same. I can't remember a May with overnight lows in the 30's and highs in the 40's and 50's. April was so much nicer than May has been so far. Fondly, Patrick

    Thanks for all the kind comments. It's been a weird year for weather, that's for sure! "Global warming" - hah! We're not gettin' our share!

    Yes, callistrophylla is one of those that I've not really cared if it blooms or not because it's foliage is so amazing. But I'm certainly happy to see it IS going to bloom for me, because it shows I'm keeping it a happy plant. I've seen photos of finlaysonii flowers, so that will be a treat! Now, if I could just get my others that are similar to really take off!

    Cool Denise, mine bloomed while I was out of town last month so I missed out. Glad you saw it.
