I got "The Box" yesterday from beastlyflowers2012 :-D

Karen, ricnfl and cowboyflowerman are two different sellers. I buy from both and have been very pleased. Ric has a great selection on ebay and almost always gifts an extra cutting!

Ricfl is awesome :) i got my minibelle from him and it came with a cutting of Genieve that i am trying to do right by -fingerscrossed- but i would definantly buy from him again :)

I got my box from Thailand yesterday!!! I was biting my fingernails watching tracking and customs.... 6 days, not too shabby! Everything has been soaked and I'm going to trellis them all nice today and tomorrow. SOOOOOOOO ecstatic. I also got another cutting from Ric yesterday too, with Hoya sp. Ns05-055! :) That's so awesome that he gave you a Genieve, Staci! She does so well for me!

Wow those look awesome!

Im new to Genieve so im terrified of killing it

Punkgirl does this look good?

That's a nice big leaf... Just don't over saturate the soil and you'll be okay. :) Ric's cuttings are always very strong and easy to root for me. Good luck!

Wow! Look at them cuttings! What did you get, Sara?

SQUUUEEEEE! I'm almost too scared to tell y'all, like they might evaporate as if they were a dream! Here goes:

Hoya caudata sumatra
Hoya chewiorum IML 1676
Hoya UT038
Hoya callistophylla kalimantan
Hoya praetorii - pink corona
Hoya eliptica philippines
Hoya soligamiana
Hoya mitrata
Hoya siariae red
Hoya undulata

They look very healthy too! Congrats to you and everyone with "The Box" coming their way!!

I ordered from Thailand last summer via Aurora. That was fun too! Ric had offered free shipping if you bought 5 plants. That's kind of why I splurged. Plus everyone's beautiful spring blooms pushed me over the edge.

I got the following:

Incrassatta Moonshadow

Mathilde (I already have this one but someone on the forum said mine looks more like a a chouke)

Liggia

Blashernaezii IML 1631

Parasitica vareigated

Erythrostemma

I felt a little guilty that he threw in a freebie when he was already offering free shipping. Plus the parasitica is decent sized plant in a 2 in pot so that weighed more. Great guy! I would definitely order from him again. I feel spoiled. I have been happy with all the vendors I have used.

Now that you have another Mathilde, does it look different from the one you already had? I dont have chouke yet but im considering it since mathilde is such an easy grower for me.

So, to answer your question isn't that easy. I have 3 plants all sold as Mathilde.

This one is from Gardino's, but someone on the forum says it is really a chouke:

Mathilde possible chouke from Gardinos · More Info

Mathilde silver from Thailand · More Info

Mathilde from Ric · More Info

When I put the Gardino's one next to Ric's, they do look different:

Mathilde vs Chouke · More Info

I have one from gardinos and one from ric. They look the same to me. Ill post a pic tomorrow...loving that silver mathilde!!!!

Actually it looks more like the one from Gardinos. The leaves look dark and glossy. My one from Gardinos definitely looks more like the dark glossy green of a carnosa with some flecks of white. Yours is CUTE! The ones from Ric and Thailand have a woodier (if there is such a word) stalk at the base. The one from Gardinos seems to have a greener, less woody stem, again, more like a carnosa.

Here is my little serpens. Her leaves are fuzzy. She even had a couple penducles, but she dropped one yesterday. Sadness...

Gardinos and rics next to each other.
