This is Hoya cv. Iris Marie. I'm really proud of this one as I had given up on ever getting it to bloom. It took 7 years to do it, but finally it did, and at a very odd time of the year to boot. I don't get a chance to post much any more, but I generally check in once a day to read what everyone has been growing and blooming. It helps inspire me. Most of my Hoyas really went downhill after bringing them in from the greenhouse. I think the dry air from central heating has more to do with it than anything else. All the active growing tips die back from the dryness. I am currently experimenting with the semi-hydro method of growing, and knock on wood, intitial results are encouraging.
