Way to go Betsy! Our HDs never have anything "Hoya" in them. Lowes either. However, I did get my big EA plant of kentiana like yours at a Stater Bros. grocery store. Ha. Who woulda thunk it?
I love that plant. Hangs nicely from the basket & doesn't send out long searching vines that wrap around everyone else like the others. Ha.
Heather....the "stringbean" hoya is usually the one known as H. shepherdii. H. minibelle is another cv that has long leaves, but a bit wider with pinker (is that a word?) flowers. H. longifolia is another one of these "bean-leafed" hoyas, but I think it is a species on it's own (right Carol)? It has white flowers tho.
Anyway, they are all neat so just collect them ALL like I do...ha ha.
