Oops, the Hoya obovata hybrid is called Hoya cv. Hagar.

Mike, how do you subscribe to this magazine??

I was wondering the same thing!

The magazine is quarterly but of high quality. The articles cover the entire Asclepidaceae family so there are articles on succulents, milkweeds, Hoyas etc from around the world. When new species are formally described they have to be published and this is the premier magazine when it comes to Asclepiads.

Check out the index of Asklepios issues for past issues and their article indexes. This past year there have been a good number of new Hoyas published or old Hoyas given proper names. Members also have access to the seed bank which offers seed of succulent Stapeliads and other Asclepiads as well as rare plants from Africa and around the world. Importing seed into the U.S has been made difficult in the past few years so Americans need to apply for a permit but there is an online website to help with that as well.

If you check the back issue numbers from about issue 89-90 up to the current 108 you will get a good idea of the content and quality of photography. You may be able to order back issues without subscribing so that you can make more informed decision, just email and ask.

Wow, the cover photos are phenonmenal...

There was a great article showing how to use photo stacking programs to get perfect depth of field and focus over an entire subject. A Stapleiad flower was used and every part of the flower was in prefect focus after taking several photos using a tripod and then stacking them with editing software, Issue #104 if you're interested.

Will check that out, Mike! Thanks!
