Today I got to the bridge that had been flooded. From the debris up in the trees you could see the water had been 5 to 6 metres above the bridge. Today it was just under. Decided to take a chance and try to make it to where I found the Hoya with the double peduncle. The track over the other side was badly damaged by the floods but I did have a 4WD. Made it to the foot of the escapment where the Hoyas grew. It was a long hot sweaty climb and a storm was moving in. It occured to me the Hoya mightn't even be flowering but I tried to be positive. As it turned out I found only 3 peduncles with tiny buds. The buds photographed the other day will be open first. So there's no need to risk crossing the river again for photos while the weather is like this..
