I love this Hoya's foliage. It has short internodes and beautiful coppery red new growth. It's established leaves are a glossy dark green and the plant seems to branch readily. It hasn't flowered for me yet. I'm wondering if anyone has a photograph of the flowers on this one.
Thanks Roy
I hope someone does, very cool leaves...it's now on my wish list...which is getting really looooong.....
Wow Roy I love the colors, very nice hoya!
Blessings,
Awanda

I received this one from David Liddle last year. Now that I have it down in the Greenhouse, it's leaves are turning a nice red. Mine is smaller than yours is and hasn't bloomed yet, but I am enjoying the leaves regardless. I have seen the flower, I will try and find where I seen it.
Oh Tami is your greenhouse unlocked at night?

Awanda
Well yes it is Dear. I wouldn't go there after dark though, ya never know what you will run into, coyote, javelina, or a mountain lion. I get all my chores done befor sundown :) When she gets bigger I would be more than happy to give you a snip...
Very nice!
What is a javelina!!!!
Well duh T I guess I should have checked my hoyas! I have one that is labeled as "Rubida". David a javelina resembles a wild boar. Here is a little info about them:
The collared peccary resembles a wild boar but is unrelated to the pigs. It has a heavily built body covered with coarse hair, a heavy snout, and a distinct collar of light-coloured hair around the neck. These animals are common in the southern desert regions of Arizona, New Mexico and Texas, where they frequent the shrubby areas and canyons. They favour the saguaro-paloverde regions and mixed shrub grassland. They roam the desert in loose groups of 8 to 12 (but up to 30) individuals, each group being led by an older sow. They are territorial and very mean!

I thought it was a hot pepper :~) oops, wrong again....... -joanne
LOL, Joanne your funny :) Thats a jalepeno or habenero.
And you can smell them comming... We have a pack of 14 that travel up and down the creek bed. The babies are so cute, but the big guys are really ugly. Which reminds me I better go get the vents closed and turn on the heater, winter is back, they are forcasting a little bit of snow for my part of Arizona, oh yippee..... Please Please stay North...
Which IML# is that Roy?
Thanks for the info Awanda!!! A local zoo has a peccary so I have some idea of what a javelina looks like then. We have wild boar here and you have to be very cautious when in the wooded areas that have them. They dont back down and will attack especially if they have little ones!!!
There is so much of the animals native habitat being destroyed here for development that people are now having runins with animals that a lot of them were completetly unaware that we even have here such as black bears and bobcats and wild boars!!!
I knew that we had bears here but have never seen one in the wild and now since all this construction is underway at least 2 bears have been hit by cars over the past 3 years.

Uh David, I have deer and racoons in my yard almost daily, bear on occasion, bobcats just up the hill, there was a cougar down by city hall last year and I live in the city limits! I agree we are taking over and I am willing to share, but the wild boar, javelina and cougar are more than I want to deal with in person.
BUT what really freaks me out is the Hobo spiders we have here. I know you all have bigger spidey's than the Hobo down in AZ so if you want to keep 'some people' out of the greenhouse just invite those big hairy ones that live down there to perch by the gh door. ewww, I just gave myself the shivers.
God bless, -joanne
Carol, it's IML 1710 prefixed aff. I don't seem to be able to find a flower picture anywhere.
Roy
Want to see me break free and run, or run the risk of getting your A@# kicked depending on my immediate reaction, throw a spider at or on me!!!
I DONT DO SPIDERS!!!!!
Just having to look at one be it live or in a picture makes my skin crawl. As a teen I had a female red knee tarantula who was as large as a cofffe saucer. I never held her and had her for many years but something has changed in me over the years and now I just cant even stand to look at one without getting the heebee jeebys!!!
If someone posted a pic of a spider on this thread I wouldnt ever come back to view it again that's just how much spiders wig me out now!!!
