A pic I hope is a bit lighter:

I like the 2 different leaves together, solid & speckled. still looking for the green dots Pix.

PG,

I love your Austracalyx hoya, the new name also is great!!! LOL When both florir (what is the English word for FLORIR???) it is going to be very beautiful. I hope they bloom at the same time!!!!
You speak Portuguese don't you???

Thanks, so much, you know I'm kidding around right?

(Voce sabe que é eu estou brincando, ne?)

Bloom is the word for bloom, exactly, or when a plant flowers

(Florir que dizer bloom, exato)

Yes, I speak very rusty Portuguese, lacking practice.

(Sim, eu falo Portuguese com muitos eros, faltando practica).

Please be welcome here Brazilians.

(Favor, sejao bemvindos aqui Brasileiros).

Bye for now!!

Nice combination! ;)

I wish I could speak Portuguese....but a bit of Spanish is all I know. Thank G-d for cognates!

Florir is, no doubt, to flourish or to flower, as Karen mentioned.

Thank you Karen, your Portuguese is perfect!!!

My English is poor but I prefer to make mistakes rather than use google translator because the translation sometimes is terrible.

I love the expression flourish. To be honest I'm improving my English here and learning a lot about hoyas, it is a perfect combination!

OK then here's our English lesson, special word for the day: to flourish

As a child, I flourished growing up in beauutiful, tropical, Rio

(Que dizer, quando crianca, eu fiz muito bem crescendo no Rio, lindo & tropical.)

I really like it Pirate Girl!! I too love the name, maybe you'll have a new variety in a few years :o)

"que es una hoya bella" (That's a beautiful hoya)Spanish

Thanks, Pug, yeah I like the name a lot too. Comes off the tongue much more readily than Pubicstralis might have, don't you think?

Just call me silly girl!!

Silly Girl! You so funny...
Glad they are doing well, and photograph so healthy. Like the new name... too bad I never thought of it...
