Oh my goodness, I've never seen that before! I guess you'll have to do some research on hoya seed germination if you haven't done so already. :)

So cool! ~ Mary

Well planto I don't do seeds well, we just don't get along. This is only 1 peduncle and it had moths on every bloom. this is H. bicolor and it loves to bloom once established and likes lots of sunlight, almost direct sun even this florida sun.

Mary I have several that did this.

Amazing photo, Dee! I just love it. It looks kind of like a creepy Halloween hand, doesn't it?

I am just sooooo jealous of all you who get to enjoy seeing seedpods develop on your plants. I think they are another very beautiful side to Hoyas, whether you grow the seeds or not. There is so much diversity to them, like buds, and look at that fabulous leopard design!

Wouldn't it be cool one year to do a sort of seedpod collection/distribution base. Have someone volunteer to accept seedpods from people who don't want to grow them, and distribute little sampler envelopes of them to everyone who signed up. Probably impractical with the narrow viability window though. There would have to be an extremely narrow seedpod collection window.

Still, I hope more people take pictures of their seedpods for us to enjoy. :) :)

That is one fertile hoya!! So many seed pods! Thank you for sharing the photo, it is so fun to see stuff like that.

Man I have two of them .. bicolor...and they are in suspended animation. Some day, but that is such a cool picture I cannot get over it. Thanks again for sharing it Dee. I do have them in four hour direct sunlight. Perhaps there should be a topic to start on manually pollinating in general. Any ideas anybody? ~ Mary

I think I could get behind the idea of a pollination topic. I've always wondered about hoya pollination such as if they're self-pollinating, etc.

geosdee,
I don't do well with seeds either. The last time I tried, I was growing some oregano from seed only to repot the seedlings when they outgrew the pot and instantly die (Seriously, it happened overnight). What are your plans with the seedpods?

Planto

I get night visitors on my H. pubicalyx but haven't had any seed pods develop on them. Maybe the moths here need to read up on finer points of Hoya pollination, LOL.

Planto, I really don't have any plans for although I am going to send a few to a friend. Some of them have already 'burst' open and flown on the wind. Hmm I wonder if I will find some wild grown Hoya in the woods of my property, lol wouldn't that be neat
