Wow Denise, Those look GREAT!! SUPER Healthy and just beautiful!! I DO love Gardino's and they really do deserve the compliments...they have awesome plants!!

Congrats on your new Hoyas...good luck with all of them! I'm very excited for you!!

Nice haul, Denise. :) I'm not surprised your finlaysonii's ended up being quite distinct. This seems to be a species with a ton of range. Camphorifolia is one that hasn't been mentioned in a while, but I agree it's a very lovely plant. Really great choices. Anything else on your check list this year?

I recently received an order from them as well and will definitely order again.

I agree with GG, nice haul!

Thanks to all for sharing in my excitement. GG, if there's a Liddle order later, I may try to participate. Our financial woes have improved, thankfully, but my space issues haven't. But at least I can afford to take care of the ones I have now in the way I prefer now. Specifically, using VF-11 as a water-in AND a foliar feed. The last 18 months or so, I've only used it as a foliar feed to make it stretch further and used standard fertilizers for watering.

Hey Denise..found your blogs by accident and really enjoyed them.

Those are beautiful plants Denise. Hoya memoria is such a great plant, love that one. I find that my memoria reminds me of a much smaller/daintier and better behaved version of Hoya pubicalyx, a pendant growing one of course.

Mike

Oooo very nice plants.

I'd sure love to read your blog Denise :) (???)

Succulent Ramblings

I enjoy it too :)

Definitely a lovely selection you have there Denise!

Thank you for the kind words, Susan (and GG). I do tend to ramble, thus my title...

I'm anxious for the memoria to grow for me, Mike. I'm intrigued by your description of it! I assume you mean 'Pink Silver' and its pretty flecking? I don't get much silver on my other pubicalyx cultivars, though I've seen photos of some 'RHP' clones with quite a bit. The photo of the flower on Hoyor.net looks delicious!

I have always liked this photo of Hoya memoria. If you click the flower icon there are also some fantastic photos of the flowers and various floral parts.
Denise it is pubicalyx 'Pink Silver' that I was thinking of.

Is this Torill related to H. nyhussiae?

Nvm.

Has anyone heard from TG lately? Is he traveling atm?

Yes GG Hoya nyhussiae was named after Torill Nyhuss, I believe she is the current president of the Swedish Hoya Society and she also participates in collecting trips etc.

Mike,

That's a great link with some fantastic photos. I was a little disappointed that it doesn't list micrantha. I can't seem to find a site with photos of the flowers on micrantha. With my old eyes, it's hard to see the detail of flowers, especially the tiny ones, and since my micrantha has finally bloomed, I was hoping to find enlarged details of it's flowers somewhere...

I think what you're looking for is what you'd find on songkranupa's site

But Apodagis has a nice comparison photo on its aff. micrantha page.
