wow, i know you are excited!

YAY!!!!!

Yes, I really don't know what I will do with the plants once I get little starts, but it can be fun to see if I can get them to sprout and go forth, so I will try it. I've done a couple before and got lots of babies, so we will see.

I'm excited to see them grow! I put my hoyas outside for the summer, but they're on a scree porch so no bees to pollinate the blooms.

I think moths pollinate them at night...

I have photos of moths on hoya flowers feeding on the nectar, and also ants. But even in nature successful pollination isn't a common event. Seeds are usually wind dispersed so end up far and wide. Good luck with germination, it's always nice to see the "babies" coming up.

Now, I wonder if the babies will be pure australis like the plant they grow from, or if they are mixed with something else? How does one know?

Did you have other hoyas in flower around the plant at the time?

Only a pubicalyx Pink Silver and australis Lisa. The Lisa was right beside it. The one with th pod is australis ssp. Tenuipes I believe.

oh wow. maybe they will be variegated.

That would be cool. Time will tell.

How old is your Lisa plant? How long did it take for the first bloom?

That is my original one, so it is about 12 or so. It's in an 8 in. pot. It started blooming after the first couple of yrs. but I took a lot of cuttings after it started growing to give to friends and family. That may have slowed it down. I've always kept it outside on patio or on the tree so it gets good light and even a little dappled sun. I had another big one that I started from that one that I gave away to a friend and it has been blooming too.

If you can find them those large, see through, cloth jewelry bags make a perfect thing to wrap around seed pods.

If you need anyone to take some seedlings of your hands, I'm here ;)

I want a baby!!!!!! Please!!! That is if one needs a loving home (with lots of chocolate cake) lol....;)
