Hi Marcy;
I'm late in posting an answer to your "strange leaf inquiry", have had company with lots of giggling over "you know what"! got lots of chatting in, plus lots of work (me and Sandy did the work, Ann S. supervised) Also got some lessons in with Ann, regarding identifying plants and how to carefully take them apart etc. etc. etc. I think we did more of the etc. lol
This photo is a picture of H. memoria. I'm pretty sure it came from a cutting that I gave to Norma two summers ago. This species has the annoying habit of having several different sizes of leaves and always form in little clumps of (usually) five leaves around a node as the branches elongate. I personally think it's one of the prettiest of all the so called "basket plants".The foliage is gorgeous and it seems to bloom furiously just to make us hoya nuts happy.
Sandy and I took scads of photos and I will be posting many of them as time goes by. I've got to get to work, the day is slipping away.
