Hoya australis oramicola with a visitor..Smells heavenly!

Hoya imperialis..Maybe pop today?

Eriostemma cv Optimistic..Sister of E Black Star (ciliata x Ruthie )..Right on schedule as last year. This Eriostemma cv Optimistic is supposed to flowers easiest.

How nice Jan, thank you for sharing them. "Optimstic" popped for sure ! Lovely colored blooms. My cv Sunrise never stops blooming but other than that, only my Australis is starting to bud up.

Beautiful pics, Jan! What/who is the little visitor on the australis?

Some type of Moth.

Beautiful as always. I always enjoy your photos so much Jan.

Thanks everyone for your kind words!

Hoya imperialis rauschii...Got it as a cutting in April 2014, blooming already. <3

Hoya cv Pinkie..This plant has about 10 umbels in buds.

Hoya hoya benguetensis...Got it as cutting 2014 as well.

Hoya merrilli has been blooming for months, I thought it was done flowering untill I found about 12 umbels in buds. <3

Did you ever get your Hoya Lauterbachii to flower?

Ah so beautiful, Jan!

Tibean2004, no. I had buds last year but all busted. It's not doing too well due to way too much rain this year.

Beautiful blooms...thanks for posting.

Hoya memoria

Really nice blooms. Does Merrillii have a sweet smell? Thanks.

Thank you, Jan for the beautiful pictures of your collection in bloom. Lovely as always. I also have a question about Merrillii, I see your plant is loaded with peduncles. I bought one in June and after getting its roots established, it threw out a five very thick 3-4 foot vines and is slow to 'leaf up'. Will peduncles follow ? or is it stingy with them ? TIA

Thanks, Marco

marleneann, It smells mild Citrus.

Marco, It takes awhile(2-3 years) before started to flower but it flowers for months once it starts.

I got a cutting of merrilli (IML 0465) a while ago. It really put out new growth this year and I love the leaves. I can't wait for mine to flower!

Thanks Jan, It is growing like crazy ! I see you commented in another thread about our abundant rainfall this summer in FL, it gave a lot of my Hoyas very shaggy aerial roots, Merrillii, Pubicaylx, Australis, Latifolia and of course, Kerrii. I have enough air roots to knit a afghan if I knew how to knit.

Brad, I don't know which IML # I have but the leaves are so stiff and shiny. I think Joni calls this one "mother nature's answer to the patent leather shoe". That description is correct !!!

The Javanica cuttings have adapted well to full hydro and has buds in all stages of forming on 7 out of 9 peduncles.

This H merrillii is still in a 5" plastic pot inside of clay pot. Front.

Back side is greener.

Close up.

Beautiful, Jan! Love it. Isn't it amazing how one little pot can produce so much beauty?

Ooh, now I can't wait until mine starts to bloom!

Marco, that is indeed a very fitting description of this plant (the one I have is the one GG described--she is the one whom goes by JLD on those wonderful explanations on Joni's site).

Brad AKA Moonwolf

Jan, you are making me want to move to Florida. Possibly even into a tent, in your backyard. ;-)

Such beautiful plants! I can't wait for more of mine to start blooming.

Thanks Jan ! When I bought it in spring, it was 3 rooted cuttings in a shallow 4' plastic pot but at least with all that growth, it is getting well established. It has so many leaves covering the topsoil that it has to be watered sideways, haha.

Brad, I didn't know that was GG who writes those notes, I thought it was Joni herself. How are all your babies doing in the plant nursery ?

Marco

Yep, it's GG! I wonder how she's doing?

All of my new plant children are doing very well! I'm trying not to mind them too much since Hoyas do best when slightly ignored, but since they are jut cuttings, one does have to keep a closer eye on them than established plants.

Brad AKA Moonwolf

Love it!

Hoya lacunosa mixed.

Jan you are making me depressed with all those beautiful hoya photos. I want more!!!!!!

Jan - your Hoyas are so beautiful! I'm so envious :-)

marleneann, I am trying to cheer everyone, not depressed. ;) Thanks everyone!

such pretty blooms,wow

Jan, did the merrillii leaves get slightly burned by the sun?

tlbean2004(Z7), Yes.
