Interesting Hoya Flower???

Featured Replies

I was walking by one of my Pritchardia's that has a Hoya growing on the retained leaf bases and something white caught my eye.  When I looked more closely I saw the white flower growing amidst some of the Hoya's leaves.  I knew something wasn't right, so examined more closely and saw that it was the Laelia anceps dawsonii which I had acquired as a bareroot a couple of years ago, and stuck in another leafbase that was flowering with the stem popping up and through the Hoya leaves.  This Pritchardia maideniana's leaf bases are also host to a cutting from my Epidendrum falcatum which I'm hoping will bloom again.

A real bunch of Hoya blossoms this time.  I almost missed this blooms on this one.  I don't recall which species this variegated Hoya is but it has been growing in my garden for well over a decade.

Pretty sure that is one of the variegated forms of H. carnosa.  Had one growing on my grandparent's back patio in San Jose for several years about 12 years ago.. Might still be there but haven't asked about it in some time.

Yes, as soon as I saw your id for it I recognized and remembered the name  Nathan.  Thank you.
