Hoya P___?

10 years ago

I had this Hoya labelled but over the years the writing has rubbed off the tag. All I can still make out is "Hoya P". I am thinking it must be a publicalyx cultivar. Any thoughts on which one? The interior star looks a bit dark compared to photos I am looking at online.

    Pubicalyx Pink Silver :)

    Or, possibly cv. Jungle Garden...

    Thanks aurorawa, you are super quick! I have had both of these cultivars in the past. I was initially thinking pink silver but thought the leaves were not splashy enough.

    The more I look at pictures the more I think it looks like jungle garden. The inner star (not very botanical--is it a corona?) of mine looks darker than pink silver, as does jungle garden.

    The color of many hoya flowers varies dependent upon light and other factors. As an example, here is my pubicalyx cv. Philippine Black...note the differences in color on even individual flowers:


    All that you can be sure of is that it is a pubicalyx. There are so many cultivars and crosses of this particular hoya in circulation that narrowing yours down to a particular cv. will probably impossible. Given the rounder shape of your leaves, versus the more acute shape of some hybrids, I am leaning toward cv. Jungle Garden. That being said, leaf shape also varies greatly, even in individual plants.

    I don't think it's PS - leaves on my PS are narrower. But it does look a lot like my pub 'Bright One'...

    Thank you both. I think the one thing that keeps this task from being impossible is that the name would ring a bell with me if I had bought it in the past. Denise, your Bright One does look very similar, but I am sure I have never owned Bright One. I have owned Pink Silver and cv. Jungle Garden before. I actually forgot about cv. Jungle Garden until you mentioned it aurorawa, so many thanks. If both of you are saying the leaves are not narrow enough for pink silver, and I do remember more splashes on the pink silver I had, I am now confident it is cv Jungle Garden.

    Thanks for the help!

    Omg, Denise...I forgot about Bright One!

    Oh boy--now I am realizing I could have bought a mislabeled cv. Jungle Garden that is really Bright One. Does anyone have blooms of these two side by side?

    Are the leaves on Bright One a darker green than the leaves on Jungle Garden? I am leaning more towards Bright One now.

    Bright One also seems to have flowers that seem more like skinny starfish compared to Jungle Garden, just like yours and mine Denise. The corona tips on Bright One sometimes reach the edge of the flower--the corona tips do not seem to be able to reach the edge of the fatter flowers of Jungle Garden.
