That is huge! What size pot is that in?

I think it's a 14" pot. It's crazy big, trust me! It must weight about 25 lbs...

H.australis ssp australis does have a tendency to go ballistic. Here's one in habitat, it's spread out over the rocks disappearing into the background and going up through the trees. Couldn't fit it all into the one photo. This one should probably be labeled Hoya australis ssp. australis 'Buderim'.

Hi Laura, and thanks for the kind words. I still have GW as my homepage and stop in daily - it's still my favorite forum...feels like home! Hope you've been well and that your Hoyas are thriving!

I got my cuttings and my new Callistrophylla <----- she is a beauty! I kept "Majik" as 1 cutting. Happy with them all. Thank you!

The promise of things to come!

Glad you like them, Lydia. Those australis will be a brighter green if you grow them in the shade. That's how I plan to grow my newly potted cuttings.

So Denise, I read some of your Ramblings & read abt this, that you'd posted here & didn't get many takers. May I pls buy 3-5 of these, if you've still got? Don't know if you've got a current list for sale, but I'd also love some replacement Macrophylla variegate if you've got any to spare (still makes me swoon.

Hi Karen. I've still got plenty of the australis. I just sent you my e-mail address through messenger/FB. Email me and I'll send you my list. I can also be reached through my GW/Houzz page...

I would love to have some as well sent to washington. Pretty exciting. I have some very nice hoya bella plants going strong, I would love to send as a thank you if your at all interested. I would also be glad to pay more, I have a very small collection young hoya, not yet blooming. I am on facebook and here of course.

Denise, do you still have cuttings left? I am new to this forum and have a small Hoya collection.

Yes, I have PLENTY! Email me at greengirl1958@yahoo.com

Totally unrelated but I just found and read your blog the other day :D

Hi Triff. My ramblings are probably pretty boring to most people, but it helps me keep track of the progress of my plants. It's really handy in that I can put a plant name in the search box and it gives me all I've written about it over the years.

Denise, Callistrophylla is showing off already :-)

I found it really interesting! It does look like it gets cold where you are :D

Hi Lydia! Yay for you! I had to go check mine and, sure enough, it's got two new vines. It's about time!

It was actually 6 Leaves :-D I really like this one!...Happy yours is growing! Its thrilling when the leaves are so beautiful!

Denise, Lookie! lol Hoya "Majik" it's rooted and has new growth. I also see the start of new growth on one of the austalis cutting. All looking nice and plump.

It blows me away how much faster stuff roots and grows in the south. Congrats on all that new growth!

Thank you!...there are some that don't like it here, Hoya bella! Can't grow her.
