Archboldiana...just chugging along....
Junes Blooms
H. sp. Tanna Island...this one is growing up a tree and puts out the most enormouse flowers...almost an inch across!
This is a little H. pottsii...very slow grower...but quick to bloom. 5 leaves, 4 buds!!!
Wow!! Carol.....I think I need to move to Hawaii and bring all my hoyas with me cuz I have all of those ones and they certainly don't look like that.

Hoya subquintuplinervis covered in 9 developing or open umbels.
Hoya davidcumingii just about to open.
H. cv Jennifer (pls excuse the honey ants)
Gorgeous flowers!!! That 'subquint' must smell awesome, Mark!!!
Another sigillatis umbel just opened up this morning.
And tonight little litoralis started with one umbel and more to follow... It is just sooooooo cute!
I almost bought a cutting of Archboldiana from DL. I WILL next time! And that Tanna Isalnd... I'm drooling here!
Wow MarkRoy...that first pic of yours looks just like Hoya pachyclada (both the blooms and the foliage). Gorgeous plant. And nice pics everyone!
Tanna Island is gorgeous!
How much does archboldiana range in flower color? This one seems less pink than the one on the Aloha Hoya website.
The Archboldiana, and Tanna are very pretty,but I love them all.
Patti
"It" is called the white one...just a very pale color with darker highlights. Just another clone...and there really is no guaranty that it will always bloom the same color as that is so dependent upon nutrition and environment.... :>)
There is also a clone of archboldiana with a deep true red rim with red stripes running down to the corona. The bowl is white. I don't see pictures of this one very often, so perhaps it isn't as good a bloomer? It is called "archboldiana YM excellent" or sometimes just "archboldiana red".

Oh I like the cv. Jennifer, what a pretty flower.
Mark your H. subquintuplinervis is just a beautiful plant. I bet it smells wonderful.
oh wow, thanks for the info on the archboldiana variations!
Hoya compacta. This picture shows the bud before it pops and after.
This is a close up of the open bud.
This is a shot of a lipstick plant in flower. I know it's not a hoya but aren't they cousins or something?
Cv Noelle finally opened for me - nice, not overpowering, maybe a little spicy (to me), fragrance. Flowers are a pretty pale green.

And multiflora (javanica), too!
yes, lipstick plant is related to hoyas. I bought one years ago thinking it was a hoya.
I'm fascinated by them. They are so pretty!!!

Awanda...Picture of the leaf?????
Here's a picture of the leaf.

My leaf of H. meredithii/H. vitellinoides is very very different. It is different in venation, leaf structure and color (which isn't all that important). I will get a photo to post.
I'm only guessing, I got this from Lois Duffy 5-6 years ago. I think Meredithii was the name on the cutting when I received it, but I can't be sure. I knew it had bloomed as soon as I opened the greenhouse door, it has a nice smell, but I can't figure out what it smells like.

Awanda
Hey Sis, I think you meant to say merrilli. I bought the same plant from Lois and that was the name she had on it. Mine is on the verge of blooming too.
I wonder if Lois is still around. I bought some of my first cuttings and lots of Hoyan volumes from her.
Mel
No I didn't get Merrill from Lois, it was Meredithii, I just found my paperwork from her.
Blessings,
Awanda
Oh Well, Then! Here is a picture of my . H. vitellinoides. I think Lois may have had some Hoya sap on her glasses!
Small fragrant contribution, wightii var. palniensis.
And a faithful bloomer, hypolasia. More green than the normal yellow... don't know why, but I'm not complaining!
Mell I have that same plant in your picture. It came from D.L. and was labled H. vitellinoides but has the name meredithii in parenthesis beside it. I bought some cuttings from Ann Wayman a little over a month ago and she sent me one of these as a bonus but hers came labled meredithii.
So which is it or does it go by both names???

Same plant. Ted Green and Dale Kloppenburg say "Hoya meredithii" and Christine Burton and David Liddle agree on "Hoya vitellinoides", although I recall David saying something to the effect that If Ted Green were to do some republishing on this one, "Hoya meredithii" would have good standing.
There are a lot of plants in this group (related to Hoya finlaysonii) that have similar leaves and flowers that look almost exactly alike. The leaves range from rather plain and not very visible veins (H. finlaysonii) to very large leaves with pale green flesh and dark green (almost black) veins like Hoya vitellinoides/meredithii. There are a lot of newer plants with strikingly veined leaves, like H. sp. 'Abas' and aff. finlaysonii (meaning agrees with the description of H. finlaysonii, but is not necessarily it) which looks like a smaller version of H. meredithii/vittelinoides.
