I have a plant of publicalyx that's leaves are the plain green. As it was the first publicalyx I had received, I thought that was the normal one. lol

But I haven't flowered it yet.

If you would like to see just the leaves, I can take a pic of them.

Ren, I'd like to see the leaves (since the photo Mike linked doesn't...)

Mike, I read down through the comments and apparently it's a Paul Shirley plant. (She had "PS" in her comment under it and initially, I thought she was referring to 'Pink Silver', but apparently it means Paul Shirley...) I've never ordered from him - can someone post a link to his website?

Denise Paul Shirley does not ship the the US anymore, too many problems with confiscated cuttings etc. There is a Hoya pubicalyx GPS 282 listed now but I am not sure if it is the same plant, flowers look different although the photo is lower quality as well.

Rennfl the type species of Hoya pubicalyx is the plain green leafed one but it is less common in collections than the other varieties.

OK found a good photo, still no GPS # confirmation but must be the same plant.

Here is a link that might be useful: Paul Shirley Succulents Hoya- Netherlands

ok, the first pic is the plain leaves plant by itself, I haven't bloomed it yet, and I received this from the guy in Hawaii about a year and a half ago.

The second pic is both plants together.

Renee

Thanks for the photos rennfl. Hopefully your plant blooms for you soon.

Mike

I like it - it's very pretty! Although I have several of the pubicalyx cultivars and swore I couldn't afford to designate more space for another one (they are aggressive growers!), I think it might be worth making space for.

OK, now you just had to go and post another picture. I love the publicalyx hoya's and now I need this one, and there is also one called bright eyes or something like that.

Jan I think they are the same plant from what I saw on the Hawaiian Hoya site when I looked it ( pubycalix HSI037) up.

Mike

Well now I have HSI037 so I guess I will just have to wait and see how it blooms.

I love the pubicalyx family and collect nothing but them (keeps the Hoya compulsion contained too). I too have one identical to the pics, just plain leaves, and am anticipating its blooming to see what I have.

Finding new pubicalyx is probably one of the better parts of collecting them. They are out there, just takes a bit to find them. And sometimes, its a matter of label changing when one Hoya goes from a number to that number being placed into the pubicalyx family.

Hi Everyone. . . It's been a busy summer, and I think it's finally starting to slow down a bit. . .

Mike, I got the 'plain green' pub. from CN, she described it to me as the 'true' pub. whatever that means. . .

This photo was taken in April, it's ALOT bigger now. . . it's planted with a H. pub 'splash' and they both seem to be growing at the same rate. . . FAST...

Nice plant Maid, that should be quite the show if both varieties bloom at the same time. I can't help but think of Hoya meliflua when I see this all green pubicalyx, the leaves look similar in colour and texture.
