Hi there
I live in the UK, and I love hoyas... I spend a lot of time trying to find out more information about them. Last year I recieved a plant labelled as Hoya Motoskei, so I just took it as such, seeing as I didn't know as much then as I do now... Christina recently pointed out to me that in fact it looked more like an Australis. But I don't think it's the normal subsp. tenuipes but actually subsp. australis, as it has fuzzy leaves that are fuzzier on the underside than the top. Also, it's flowering in the autumn which is as type for subsp. australis. However it's got at least two umbels about to flower and a couple more thinking about it.. anyone else seen this? Maybe I'm just lucky (?!?)

Let me know what you think. If you like my picture, why not wander along to http://www.geocities.com/hi1ls
