This is one of the several noids that I have. Can anyone help me out with an I.D.
Anyone know the I.D.
When you all talk about noids on here what does that mean? I am still not up to par with my hoyas and the terminology that goes along with them! I'm trying though,been doing some online reading and trying to get all the info I can on the hoya varieties that I am trying to grow.
It just means you don't know the true name or identity of the hoya. In most cases it has to bloom before you know for sure.
No - ID.

Jerodsmom, could you post a close-up of the flowers please?
Patricia I can't see it very well, mail it to Arizona and let me take a look at it:-).
Blessings,
Awanda
Closer up of the flowers, Patricia?
Thanks
Carol
I am having trouble getting clear close up pictures with my digital camera. I will have to try with my regular camera and then try to to scan and post the picture later.
Thanks, Patricia
Does your digi camera have a macro mode?
Patricia...if you take the picture from further away...and then crop it/enlarge it...it should be clear.

O.K. did this help any. I have been looking at pictures on other sites and it looks like H. pottsii
to me.
I would also guess toward H. pottsii which is a highly variable species in both foliage and flowers.
The leaves are throwing me. They don't look like the leaves of any pottsii I have. The flower looks like a H. pottsii ....but the color of the corollas - beige rather than white?
Patricia...can you isolate t he foliage from the background...and the photo? I am thinking H. verticillata...but I haven't really seen any foliage....
Thanks,
Carol
There are probably vine from other hoya's mixed in. I will try to get a picture of the foliage.
Here is the foliage:
I think Carol is on the right track with H. verticillata.
I looked back at the pictures I took of my var. verticillata that jut bloomed and they do look very similar.
YUP...I am going to say H. verticillata too.
By the way, H. verticillata is turning up more and more in my collection as other plants. I have 3 different green leafed forms of it, and I suspect H. sp. Laos is one too. My large plant is blooming and there must be 27 blooming umbels on it...It is a great hoya....and I love the scent of the flowers.

Well here is another noid that opened up today. The flowers are very similar, but it doesn't appear there are as many per umbrel. The vein pattern in the leaves is also different. Any idea's ?
And here is a better shot of the foliage.
Partica,
My vote is your original thought that it is Hoya pottsii. I am no expert, but, that would be my guess.
My variegated verticillata just bloomed today and it has a sweet, fresh fragrance. Does your first plant in question have any fragrance???
Mel
Mel, it has a very sweet perfumy smell to me. I forgot to smell the second one. Does anyone else have H. jungle garden. Mine just bloomed and I am not sure of the I.D. on it. I will post a picture later.
I love those blooms that you smell before you find!!!
Here is a picture of my variegated verticillata. Isn't it sweet?
My variegated verticillata just bloomed out also. I just loved it. It still has a couple umbrels on it to open up.
Oh btw like your zip-loc bag rooting farm shown in the background of earlier pics :)
Just my two cents Patricia, but I believe the plant that this thread is about is actually bhutanica, I may be wrong though....
