Hello Everyone,

I just recently purchased these Hoyas and have no idea what species they are. I am very excited and can't wait to collect a few more.

Happy growing All!

    Hello Bo...hoyas are definitely very addicting...and very enjoyable as well. I went from 30 to 237 in a little over a year...due to seeing the great pictures on this forum. I hope you can handle the addiction better than I have!! LOL Fondly, Patrick

    Very nice, those look like H. carnosa to me.
    Go browse the forum, look at some photos, and you'll soon find that you're wanting to add more and more varieties to your collection.
    Have fun.

    Hi Patrick - Wow!! You have a lot of Hoyas! I don't think I have the space for more but you never know. I am always giving away plants (I get tired of). Also, I too was very much inspired by the pics, especially Josh's H. Vanuatuensis.

    Rennet - I've been like this with my other plants, especially my jades! So, I know all too well about the part of adding more to your collection! lol

    Happy growing!

    Bo- Welcome welcome to the Hoya forum!

    Patrick- lol I just love your story. It makes me sound so paced and moderate, only having collected 100 or so in a year... plus 4 more in the post, yesterday! Of course, you probably have more space to put them in...

    Hoyas, I've decided, are like kittens. They arrive all cute and cuddly and can fit in your hand. Thus, it always seems like you have enough room for one, until they get a little bigger and rowdier. >_>;

    Welcome to the hoya forum, Bo!

    Patrick and GG, LOL! It makes me think of what will become of my collection in years to come. Of course, I just bought two more last week at Lowe's.

    Hey Mike - Good to see ya here. You're definitely my citrus hero and cacti & succulents too... lol I think it's fantastically fun to both start this adventure (at the same time) and encourage and enable each other along the way lol

    Also, I too appreciates everyone's kindness and patience (to help a newbie along the way). Thank you!
