OT-Hoya Hunt

15 years ago

My very favorite hobby for the weekend is hoya hunting or simply looking for other stand out plants. Today was not a great hoya shop day because all that was seen after visiting 2 HD's and 3 Lowe's as well as 3 Wal-Mart's were Krimson Queen, Krimson Princess, Chelsea, some Dischidia varieties. Don't get me wrong, they are beautiful plants and EA seems to be outdoing themselves this year with their plants. They are larger and very healthy but I already have a couple of each of those hoyas.

My OT, is I got a new "mini variegated leaf Lipstick" kinda yellowish/green from EA--a really gorgeous large "evidently new variety" of lipstick. It will compliment my hoyas very well.

Susan,

Can you post a photo of variegated Lipstick? Sounds pretty! I've tried growing them, thinking they look so much like Hoyas maybe they'd be as easy, but not for me!

Will try.

Lipsticks are definitely more challenging than hoyas so I hope this survives. (Funny thing, it doesn't look at all like the picture on EA website, so I just may have picked up a Dischidia instead of a Liptick) The label must have been switched.

I do not find Aeschynanthus challenging, but that's probably just a coincidence of the varieties I have. I have this Columnea that absolutely will not grow outside a humidity dome, whereas the other ones are at least reasonable.

I'm curious about a photo too!
