So, this new cutting came with 3 peduncles putting on buds. One has really
taken off and should open..... soon ?
BTW, this cutting is still unrooted. I didn't know an unrooted cutting could
or would bloom ?
Buds on H davidcummingii
Shucks, I wanted the closer-up pic... here goes.
How pretty!!! Congratulations, I really like this hoya.
Often a plant will produce flowers in 'survival mode'...totally common and not a danger to the cutting. DC is one of the neatest small hoyas!!!!
Cool !! I've been enjoying watching these buds.
And IF they make it to actually bloom, it will be
my first ever Hoya flowers !!
I will post pics of the buds the day I received the cutting
up til now......just cause I think it's interesting to
see the progression.
Hope to soon be doing a hoya happy dance.
Paula
And here they are 9 days later...
And 2 days after that...
( the buds at the top of this thread are
the newest )
Ok, so I'm having fun with this thread all by myself. ^_^
Anyone want to have a contest ?!?
When will my buds open ? Accepting guesses......starting now !!
Paula
My guess is June 2. You can then post in June Blooms ^_^
Be patient. My pubicalyx took two weeks to open.

I'm trying to post picture from photobucket. Can't seem to get the hang of it. Help!!!!!
I think I got it. I sure hope so. This little bundle took two weeks to open. I think it is pubicalyx 'Pink Silver'. I received it about seven years ago in a trade. This is the first time it has bloomed. Only one peduncle. But I'm happy.
Paula, that is soo cool! I had no idea a hoya would bloom without being rooted! Can't wait to see the bloom opened ... neat looking hoya.
Imadigger: That is an Awesome bloom on your Pink Silver. It looks like it has fuzz! So pretty! I have one I received in a trade last fall that is labeled Pink Silver ... sure hope it looks like that!
Nice growing, Paula! I guess June 1 - can't wait to see the flower!

I'm gonna say June 3! We might as well cover all of the beginning of June!
May 31.....
June 5
I got a cutting of this one this spring so hope mine makes it. Jo
June1st.
Ok - so Carol wins because it bloomed TODAY !
HAPPY HAPPY HOYA DANCE!! This is my
first hoya to bloom ( and as a cutting, go figure )
so I was so excited to see it opened this morning.
And here's a 'back' view...
adorable!
Great Paula. As a prize I will take your beautiful son!!!! jejejejeh
Paula, it's beautiful. Now I have to add that to my list, which is growing longer and longer.
Any one out there have a cutting to share?
Very nice ... love the pink and yellow on that one!
Nice growing, Paula!
Well I wish I could take credit for this one. It was in bud when I
received it as a cutting. I'll be doubly excited when one of my
others flowers that I've been growing for awhile !! ^_^
Paula
Hey sis!! I finally figured out how to work some things here at DG. Now I get to see your cute blooms again. Wanted you to know I am 'hooked in' to the Hoya forum now. Thanks for the gift.
Beautiful little flowers!!
Hey Liz ! This forum is really great, glad you like it. ^_^
When I asked my son what these blooms smelled like he said
" like buttery popcorn ". And I agree !
Anyone else notice any scent on theirs ??
Paula
Yes...buttery popcorn. There are quite a few hoyas that get that rich fattening fragrance.....
My ds-70 is blooming like crazy right now and it really smells like butter.
And, one hanging in a tree in the backyard ... either K. Queen or K. Princess?
Sorry ... I see I posted my pic's to the wrong thread! Meant to post them in the June Blooms thread!
My davidcummingii has buds now, too!
