this one hasnt flowered for me yet. I got it as a cutting on my very first order to David Liddle in 95". It rooted fast,began to grow well and then began to turn yellow. It had started to rot from the bottom up. I managed to save 2 very small pieces of it and somewhere along the way lost the ID tag and didnt know what it was.

Those 2 pieces that I saved have made a nice full basket now and I found the original DL tag stashed away in a catch all box that I keep in the gh.

It is IML 0358 vitellinoides(meredithii) this is how David lists it in his catalog. It is one of my favorite hoyas simply because of the leaves.I'd love to someday see it bloom but if it doesnt,i'll continue to grow it for the foliage. I currently have it in a high light area and i've noticed that the leaves are getting some pink in them
