So.... I got new hoyas :D

8 years ago

I didn't mean to, I swear! I even thought I was safe going into Bunnings on a Wednesday because Thursdays are their normal plant delivery days. But obviously they had an early delivery.. oops! A huge amount of hoyas, 4 trays full actually with a few I haven't seen for sale before. I resisted some but bought others.

The ones I bought are Hoya shepherdii (because I heard it grows well in cooler climates and it's a parent of my happy growing Minibelles)

Hoya gracilis which in this case is davidcummingii with a wrong (old?)name. Pretty sure I'll kill it, I've heard bad things about it but the flowers look so cute I just had to try.

Hoya inconspicua which looks identical to my memoria to be honest. But memoria didn't make it through Winter for me (RIP memoria) so I'm giving this little spotty dude a go instead...

Lastly, Hoya celata which I know nothing about except it was previously named White Dragon? I bought it because it was a large and robust plant, bursting with health and vigor. I actually two because they were so lush. Will plant them together. ( they will probably die on me)

The ones I didn't buy were albifloria, (know nothing about it) calycina (had one once, died on me) vitiensis (the plant just didn't grab me) and hypolasia (same as vitiensis) There might have been a couple of others but I cant remember?
