It looks like they have multiflora available again now, too.

As I've said before, Violet Barn plants are a bit smaller than you would typically get from a Hoya vendor, and they do dock large first-node leaves for shipment (following the same logic as they use with their other faster-leafing plants ì_ì) but they are extremely thoroughly rooted and hearty. I bought many Hoyas from them when I first started out and never lost a one. And those plants outgrew every EA plant I bought of the same type at 10x the starting size.

Actually, I did lose my serpens this winter and replaced it from VB in the spring and the plant I got was so lovely and full! I think they do a particularly nice job of growing serpens, since it does well in similar conditions to Gesneriads.

My darlings arrived and I couldn't be more happier.

Yes, they are small but healthy looking. The packaging was awesome.

This is my new favorite place.

Congrats on your new babies. What did you get? It's always so exciting getting new ones. Do you have pictures?

I just bought some myself from a new vendor to me, and just received a lovely trade, plus placed an order from Thailand. After going a year without any new ones, once I allowed myself to get more, I seem to be on a rampage. :)

I've never ordered from Violet Barn myself.
