My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Hoya ID confusion

10 years ago

I purchased these two Hoyas - one as hoya Finlaysonii and the other as Hoya callistophylla.

I mixed up the tags and looking at images on line Finlaysonii and callistophylla look pretty much the same.

Here are my two. Can anyone please clarify which one is which? lol Thanks.

    LOL Mark. They're in the same group or complex. Do you grow them both? Seeing photos and seeing them in person, sometimes you go..."Oh, wow, that wasn't what I expected at ALL!!" I've had that happen more often than I care to admit! I grow a couple different clones of fin and one, the rippled leaf one from Gardino's, looks remarkably similar to callistrophylla, and that may be why you got them turned around. I've often wondered if that clone is a cross between fin and calli, but who knows? My other fins have much more muted leaves. Here are photos... first, my plain fin...

    My 'ripple leaf' fin...
    ...and my callistrophylla...
    See what I mean about the "ripple leaf" fin? It IS confusing!
