I really like the leaves, Mike . . . of course, the flowers are nice, too . . . but those leaves!!!

Thanks for sharing,

Carolyn

Nice Mike! I have one that's getting ready to bloom, but I can't remember the number on it. I got mine from Sweden, and the bloom is yellow. It's too late to check the greenhouse tonight; I'll check it tomorrow.

Very nice Mike...I like the leaves and the pretty color of the buds...very delicate looking.

Thanks ladies. :)

Carolyn the leaves are really nice, for me it's their shape. Apparently they can be 17cm or almost 7" and as narrow as 1.5" across.

Awanda did you get to check your plant? I was expecting this Hoya to have blooms that were more yellow but at least this time they are more yellowish ivory colour. This is from Paul Shirley's collection so it is very possible that you have the same plant as I do.

Hi Mike, mine is IPPS 9052. It should bloom before we leave on vacation; I'll post a picture of it when it does. After I get home from church I'll see if I can find the bloom picture from last year.

Hi Mike
You got the bonus there, fragrance!, that i love for hoya.

Very nice Mike! I think half of my collection I acquired first just because I liked the leaves so much. Of course blooms that are highly fragrant rank high on the list too. But then again any that bloom is a plus. Thanks for sharing!

Mike, that plant looks young for flowering, very nice!
My finnlaysonii ripple leaf is blooming tonight, very pleasant smell filling my screened front entry. Wow!!
I wish you all could smell it.

Correction... smell was coming from Ban Ngunug Nuy.

Thanks Regina and Jan.
Jan the plant is actually larger than it looks in the photo but I did not get a good shot of it. I am happy that it bloomed so young though because I have some much larger plants that have no sign of blooms yet. Today the blooms on sp Palawan are beginning to flatten out again and look a little old so hopefully I will get one more night out of them.

If you look in this photo it is on the tray on far left and you can see the buds up at the top of the trellis.

Here's a picture of my sp Palawan IPPS 9052 bloom. It's more yellow than it appears.

Your plant must be another example of the same species from the same collection trip to Palawan. Thanks for posting your photo.
