Anne,

I wouldn't worry about bagging them as long as it's warm and humid. It's still perfect rooting weather here, too, and I have several outside in a shady spot rooting. And I think you'll have good success with the community pot - there's something about haveing several pushing to root at the same time sharing the same root space that speeds up the process.

What's that one in your first photo with the striped leaves, a little more to the left than the right & more to the front? Pretty!!

I agree, I don't think bagging is neccessary this time of year, even up here.

I was looking at those stripes, too! Are those the back of sp. Borneo Ganung Gading leaves? Lovely in that light.

Too true that David is a lovely generous soul. Hear Hear! Things definitely turned out quite well for you in the end. I'm so happy everyone has their orders safely rooting now. It's been a looooong haul! I put a timeline of the events on my blog and it really made me laugh in the process. It's too bad, too, because if it had gone through faster, we all probably would have wanted to turn around and do another order. ^_~

Thanks Anne for the testimonial!!! I felt sending you the extras along with replacing what I could from the original order was the least I could do considering that it WAS my fault that your box was lost for so long. Really the post office is partially to blame as well considering that to begin with when I mailed it to you it only took 3 days to get to CA but when the PO mailed it back to me for invalid addy ,it took 8 days to get back to me. AND when it did finally get back to me the box was so flat it looked like it had been driven over. Believe it or not it's still sitting out on the potting bench in the gh!!!

I'm afraid now after everyone seeing these pictures and reading this story,there may be a LOT of requests for me to PURPOSELY mislabel boxes!!!!

Denise, I think the hoya you are asking abut is H. callistophylla IML 0554 What you are seeing in the photo is actually the backside of the leaves.

David is correct it is the callistophylla IML 0554. My homework assignment from myself is to learn about all of them!

And Denise thanks again!

Those are all so lovely... personally, I love the heart shaped leaves... what is the name of that one? Thanks!

That is Kerrii. The specific kind is Kerrii Varigated.

What is that 4th picture down? Looks like a heart leaf lacunosa that is highly spotted or "splashed" so to speak.
I have never seen that one before. Does it have a special IML number or anything? Will be ordering that one real soon. :-)

I just want to add that I've also ordered from Epiphytica (Swedish group order) and what I got was lovely rooted cuttings that are doing really well and growing like crazy!

Now that I know David is here I would like to ask if you have any flower photo of the H. sp. UT-009 (EPC-698)? Or if you know what type of flowers it will get?

Marcy,

the hoya in question here is H. krohniana (aka heart leaf lacunosa)there is also a solid green version. I have both but not big enough to cut yet. My green one was quite large and got root rot and I lost a lot of the plant. The speckled one is still growing and I had just enough of it to get a single cutting for Anne to replace the one that died due to my not addressing her package correctly.

Christina, i'm sorry I don't grow the sp. UT-009 EPC 698 so i'm not familiar with what the flowers will look like.

Marcy,

Here is the link to the plant in the picture you asked about at epiphytica.com. They call it hoya lacunosa "eskimo" on the page. You will have to scroll about a 1/4 of the way down to see it.

Here is a link that might be useful: hoya lacunosa

bananas!... I LOVE that hoya lacunosa "eskimo"... the leaves are gorgeous!... very different from my brand new hoya lacunosa "sno caps"..... which is currently working on surviving its recent journey from Joni's!... Thank you for that link!
