I know not even the names of my hoyas, but I get sooooo excited when one blooms. Here are three pictures so maybe someone will recognize the leaf.
February Blooms
Here is an upclose of the foliage
The color is actually darker in real life than my pics........facing in the light because that is where the basket is hanging (LOL)
Looks to be a possible H carnosa to me ... but I don't know Hoyas very well at all ... so will wait to see what the pro's here have to say. I bet it will be easy for some of y'all to ID.
Hey Mark, it doesn't look anything like the H. acuta I received from you - the leaves are darker and thicker.... I can try and take a better photo of the leaf next week.
Gessie, that looks like a H. carnosa cultivar to me. Beautiful!

Guess what? I just realized I have 3 giant baskets with the same foliage...........oh well...........I have seen the flowers from the other two baskets and their color was a lot lighter than this (the bloom that is).........thanks for the name on this one.
I know the other two are Pink Silver (or something like that)
I usually just lurk in the hoya forum because I really don't know much about them. I did want to share my first bloom from the cuttings I ordered from David Liddle last spring. This is H. davidcummingii. I was so excited to see it.
My H. carnosa has about 7 blooms open and 3 more on the way so that's exciting too.
Oh, that is so pretty with the yellow and pink combination! Love it. Please post photo's when your carnosa blooms also!
I am a newbie to hoyas and joined in on the D.L. order this spring! I can't wait to get my cuttings and hopefully get them to root and grow for me!
Lin- I ordered with the DL spring too! SO excited!
Gilli - gorgeous H davidcummingii! I have one as well, it keeps forming buds, then blasting them. I don't know if I'm watering too much or not enough. I love the pink/yellow combo as well.
Julia
Wishing I'd ordered the davidcummingii now... Really like that one & must be quick to bloom after less than a year?
Thankyou, I was pleasantly surprised when it bloomed so quickly. Now I can't wait until the others bloom. I tried to order a nice variety.
Julia, I have all of my hoyas in self-watering pots and they seem to like it. The soil stays moist but not wet. They're also in a west-facing window. Hopefully you can get some buds to stay on. It's such a let-down when you have high hopes for blooms and they don't cooperate.
Indeed, it is! Well, it's forming buds on a peduncle, so maybe this next time will do the trick. I have mine in the bathroom, in a west-facing window.

WOW! These are all so beautiful! I should check mine to see if there are any signs yet. All these different colors make me want to go shopping! But, I may be moving into a different apartment, maybe even a house - something with better lighting and hopefully a yard, so....... I will wait on the shopping until I get settled. Until then I will just dream of a hoya jungle. btw, my obscura had peach colored blooms last year. ?????
