Denise, that is a lovely flower. :) Thanks for posting!

Very pretty Denise, you will have to let us know how the blooms smell.

Mike

Very pretty! I am with you on this hoya growing habits are so diffrent then verticillata. I think the leaves are really cute too.

Here is some more info on this one assuming that we all have the same species but with different names.

Here is a photo of my plant as a cutting.

Mike,

The info on Hoyor.net is very interesting. So sp. Bogor is synonomous with pallida, and I can swallow that. However, I have amoena from David Liddle and it's quite differnt. It hasn't bloomed for me yet, so now I'll be most interested in seeing how blooms differ (if at all!)

Denise I don't have Hoya amoena but from what I understand the leaves are longer and narrower than Hoya sp Bogor's. Does your Hoya amoena have flecks on the leaves or are they just plain green? Both plants appear have similar veining on their leaves. Is your Hoya amoena getting big enough to bloom?

The linked page shows some good photos of Hoya amoena from Dischidia.com as well, a really beautiful Hoya.

I never noticed this before but Antone has Hoya pallida on his site as well.

Mike,

My amoena's leaves are slightly bigger, but more in width than length, a much darker green, and the veins not quite as distinct (though somewhat so) than pallida. My pallida is exactly like the one Antone has on his site. But my amoena doesn't look much at all like the one on Christine's. The leaves do get some flecking, though it's not bright silver like some do - it's more muted.

And I've had it just a year, but it's grown quite a bit. I'd guess I'll see blooms in the next year or two...

Thanks Denise. My Hoya sp Bogor has been a fast grower as well, sounds like this whole group of plants are good strong growers.
