It looks pretty darn clear to me Diane! Beautiful bloom! Will look forward to seeing your open flower.
Whoa!! Speechless!!
Heather
Pretty cool! I probably wouldn't have gotten a thing done today because I would have wanted to look at it every thirty minutes. Enjoy!
Susan
Wow that is gorgeous! Would never have thought it was a hoya flower.
:) Donna
I have never seen one so RED. Beautiful!!!
This is them all open when the sun was down.I was wondering about the color they look red but then dark pinkish red?
One bud is a little over two inches wide..I can't look at it enough,I even set it as my wallpaper on my computer!!! LOL
Happy Growing
Dianne
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!
What have you got that hanging on? Does it hang there ordinarily? Looks like it is out in full sun.

I am green with envy. I have a H. megalaster...but it keeps blooming from the same darn peduncle over and over and over....and it never grows! In order for it to grow, I have to cut off the peduncle...and I am loathe to do it...like cutting off life. OH well, I'll get Bob to do it....

Carol...are you saying small plants don't grow well if they have peduncles on them? I have some cuttings that have them, but never really thought about it affecting their growth.
Marcy
Carol, My Meglaster is growing under 50 percent shade cloth but there are a bunch of I call them Shark tooth cactus growing on top of it so it's getting really more shade.Plus it's being watered everyday.When I first got it,it had one leaf forming and it stayed small the new leaf.Then it grew out two much larger leaves.While the buds were forming it was also sending out another pair of leaves. I guess it likes a lot of shade..
Marcy my husband put it on the arbor to take pictures he is too tall to walk around in the greenhouse and take pictures. All of my plants are hanging.
Carol when yours blooms are they the same color flower?
Happy Growing!!
Dianne
Marcy...mine has a peduncle where the stem should be...and it doesn't grow any further than just a new umbel.
Yes, they are all the same color...but more of a maroon red than yours. The flash makes mine look more bright red than they really are. http://www.bigislandgrowers.com/AHcomp/AHmega1.php
