Well it looks pretty neat ! And they say on that website that if we do a group order, they can ship it all together and give us a discount !! I say I'm in -...
Emilio, thanks for placing the photos in your album. I have a nice young plant of 'Mathilde', and it is one of my favorites. Really one of the best Hoya...
Hi Let me introduce myself. I am Anders Wennstrom one of the authors behind the new Hoya book. A little birds said to me that there was a discussion about the...
Oh Wow! Looks like a GREAT book! I definitely want one and will keep watching in hopes of getting in on a group order! That will make a wonderful "Merry...
This is Hoya calycina. This is a wonderful species- it blooms regularly every late fall/ early winter here in the northern hemisphere, which corresponds to...
What a beautiful plant! Can't remember for sure but I think calycina is one I got last spring in the DL co-op. I will have to check tomorrow ... nope, I just...
Alison: I am fairly new to Hoyas ... have one Carnosa Krimson Princess from the 1970's but didn't even know there were so many different Hoya's out there until...
Oh Good, Anders...glad you found this forum! I think that Paula and I could order together as we are both on this rock they call Hawaii....but ordering for...
There are some great new photos in several of the site's photo albums. Look in Emilio's album (labeled Botanistebe's album) for some shots of 'Mathilde' and...
After having lost a cutting of H elliptica, I was able to obtain a plant. One leaf had a faint "turtle shell" look (I say "had" as it lost that leaf! New...
Kelly - H. elliptica is a most ellusive plant! A couple of years ago I didn't know how difficult it was and I grew out a very large plant. Turns out it was...
Sounds like we need to get Anders to weigh in on this! Read an excerpt from his book that says elliptica is good for beginners and roots easily! I'm very...
Perhaps it is merely that it is a cold-loving plant, like Bella and engleriana - I read somewhere the other day that Engleriana wasn't reccommended for...
Early this week I was in Honolulu on business and stayed out in the country with Ted and Dorothy Green. One of their H. lauterbachii was blooming....they have...
I didn't have time to go thru all the photo albums...but I got to Gabi's and...wow...impressed with your collages! Nice work! Guess I will have to get...
So...I am showing Bob the collage and keep scrolling down... YIKES...there are GORgeous albums of photos!!! Paula, Kelly...all of you...fantastic photos!...
Yep, that is a stunning flower. I hadn't realized how fuzzy they were closeup. This is one Eriostemma Hoya that I really wish i could grow, but alas, too cold...
Kelly, I would guess that the pattern emerges on each individual leaf as it ages, and the veins turn from green to tan, rather than as the actual whole plant...
Fantastic H elliptica Mark ! That one has been on my wish list for a while now - those veins are way too neat !! Do you grow this one outside ? It looks as...
Amazing flower Carol - what a sight to see ! Was there only one on the plant ? I have H lauterbachii and it gets huge leaves also. And also very VERY fuzzy - I...
Paula, this is Ted Green's plant, so you can go visit it in person. He says it grows like a weed for him, and his plant does seem really happy. Are your...
I am very tempted to put mine outdoors. Anders wrote to me about it....said it likes warm, water...no big deal. Well, I must have the family stepchild ...
Well that explains it ! I am on the Big Island and Ted is on Oahu. I'm sure our conditions are very similar - he may have more humidity being so close to the...
