OMG! Check out what I stumbled upon at HD when I ventured out with the roomie to find him a drill-bit (clearly I wandered in the wrong direction...)
I must add, this little piggy found this while waiting for her order from the Pimpette - it clearly is a good week for me!!!!!
This first picture is an H. multiflora

Oh darn I responded to quickly!! That's another awesome find, any bloom spurs on it?
Blessings,
Awanda
Thanks Awanda! I am feeling might proud of myself right now!
Meanwhile, my big concern is whether to repot these guys (since they are EA's & I don't want to kill them!)
Ann
I don't see any blooms on the curtsii, but there is a lot of new growth.
Ms. K I just received an EA curtsii yesterday and I re-potted mine, it was like removing mud from the roots. I would say dry it out on newspaper for a couple of days and then re-pot it into your regular potting soil.
Blessings,
Awanda
Wow Wow Wow. You dun good girl. They are both very pretty hoya's....
Thanks everyone!
Here is a question for y'all: Awanda and others typically suggest removing the plants from the EA potting soil and replanting them in regular. I intend on doing this with the curtsii right away, but should I repot the multiflora? It seems they are water hounds and I am, erm, light on the watering sometimes. Would it be better to keep the multiflora in the EA soil since it does seem to like having "wet feet'? Tell me what you think.
Ann
WOW, MsKitty!!! NICE finds!!!
I am going to have a long chat with my HD & Lowe's, they never get Hoyas in like that. Great finds! They both look so nice.
Deb
LORD A-MERCY, SHUT MY MOUTH AND SLAP MY GRANDMA!!!!
Are you SERIOUS, Ann?!?!? You found those at HD?!?!?!?! Oh my goooosh, girlfriend - - YOU HIT PAY DIRT TODAY!!! Good for you!
Can I download your picture and send it to my SIL to show her THESE are the hoyas I'm looking for? Pweeeaase!?
That H. multiflora is exactly what I'm in search of......and I sure wouldn't pass up the H. curtsii, either!
Oh Ann - such a good day for you! WHOOO HOOOO! =0)
Betsy
There is one more of each at the HD. They were $15.00 each, so if anyone is interested (and they are still there), I would be happy to send them to for price + shipping.
Feel free to download the photos, Betsy!!
Ann
Ms. K just my 2 cents worth, but I would re-pot the multiflora too, especially since your weather is much cooler year round, it may rot before it dries out.
Blessings,
Awanda
ME ME ME!!! At least the Multiflora!!! Oh thank yoU!
OK, Betsy. Your wish is my command! Here is a picture of your new H. multiflora.
D-Mail me with your address and how you want this sweet baby sent.
Ann
You found H. multiflora at Home Depot? Unreal......
Betsy, for pete sake, you just crack me up!
Susan
Hey Susan, here is the even more unreal part of the story. The tag on it says "Hoya picta."
Ann
Hey half of the tag is right, it's a hoya:-).
Blessings,
Awanda
WOW...when is the roomie moving out to be replaced by hoyas? GREAT finds...I think you are a magnet..or hoyas are...
Lucky YOU...
Yes, I would repot fer sher! Who wants to go 6 months without watering a plant...my jewish mother instincts would be offended and I would be lost!!!
Oh happy DAY! I went to bed early last night with visions of multiflora dancing through my head. Get up this morning to find it's a DREAM COME TRUE! Oh THANK YOU THANK YOU ANN!!!! WHoo hoo.
I'm doin' the Happy Hoya Hula Dance!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My hubby is looking at me like I've snapped my twig! =0)
Bless yer sweet little pea-pickin' heart, Ann. I will name her after you.

Bets
