| And I can't figure out what it is, either!!! I picked this one up a couple of days ago, and have stayed up late (after midnight) the last few nights trying to figure out what it is! My husband REALLY thinks I'm insane, now.
I could have sworn I saw this plant somewhere online when I was looking for info on the DS-70 I couldn't identify, but now I can't find it ANYWHERE!!!
Leaves are emerald green, around 2-4 inches in length and younger leaves are concave, like a spoon. New leaves have an orange/red/yellow tint to them. The stems and leaf undersides are fuzzy and the leaf top is slightly fuzzy.
This is an EA plant.
Thanks again, in advance,
Carolyn |

I agree that it looks like Hoya carnosa 'Chelsea', you got a very nice looking plant.
Don't worry all too soon you will be knee deep in Hoyas, hanging ones, climbing ones, they'll occupy all of your window space. (insert devious laughter) LOL Mike |

| I'm glad to hear EA is carrying 'Chelsea' now. I've got one I got from CBFM, but it's not done much for me even though I've had it over a year. I'll be watching for one from EA! Denise in Omaha |

Nice looking plant!
Hey, I look at it this way: If I'm on the forum or looking up information about my plants then I'm not spending money.
Other the other hand I may get the "I wants".
Everyone has to have a hobby and this one isn't as expensive at a lot of others. |

| That is true!!! My other hobby is birds . . . parrots, to be exact. So, I think my hubby is happy with the hoyas . . . and and the birds are happy with humidity from the plants!!! I love my hobbies! |

wrynsmom,
I've had a yellow-naped amazon for the last 20 years and she is the love of my life. Well, she only love me, in fact, and is afraid of everyone else.
What kind of parrots do you own?
Thanks,
Mike |

| Three Indian Ringnecks, a Meyer's Parrot, a Pacific Parrotlet, a pet American Parakeet and a colony of 'keets. Got an albino female living in the nest box, right now. Hopefully we've got some eggs in there!!! I've heard yellow-napes are the best talkers of all the amazons! Would love to see a pic. Feel free to email me one!!! Carolyn |
