I have about 6 or 7 hoyas either blooming or getting ready to bloom:-). The picture is of Obovata. I have cv Christine, Metallica aka cv Noelle, Lacunosa, Longfolia, Sunrise and a couple more getting ready to bloom. Summer is here, it's supposed to be 108 by the weekend:-).

Looking good Awanda! My longifolia is forming buds too What fun, huh?
I just came in from the greenhouse, Fungii andHeuschkeliana are blooming, Kerrii and Vitelina both have buds.
NB this IS really fun and exciting:-)
Blessings,
Awanda
Isn't it wonderful to FINALLY see blooms?
Here is a picture of big Mac this morning!
AND the top of the plant!
2 years ago I got mad at my H. obovata because it never bloomed...I put her outside to climb up a tree (by gosh, I said, that'll teach HER a lesson). She is about 30' up this tree now...and blooming to beat the band...solid blooms...from 20 to 30 feet off the ground. At least one vine is hanging down so perhaps next year I can actually see them!!!

The only place I have ever seen "Big Mac" listed was from September Song Nursery. Is that by any chance where you got that one from Mel? I guess it is a cv of Macgillivrayii, huh?
Marcy
Sorry to mislead you, Marcy. It is a H. macgillivrayii.
Mel, you have the same twin wall polycarb that I have! But my H macgillivrayii doesn't have anything except a couple of new leaves.
It is so funny! I have the same H. macgillivrayi I have had for the past 2.5 years. It has put out 2 nodes. The first node did nothing but bloom...until I cut off the peduncle. Now it has bloomed consistently from the same peduncle at the 2nd node for a year. Time to cut THAT out.
Alas...we have hijacked the thread.... it is not about MY plants...and Awanda's plants are awesome!!!

Susan, it is just slow to get started, but, once it flowers, it does not know when to quit. This is my third flush of blooms this year, but, I seriously thought I would never see a flower.
And yes, Awanda has the magic touch with Hoyas.
