June Blooms

LOL, Lee Anne ... I tried to show it's good side! ^_^

Hi all! I've finally got several blooming for me - they LOVE gong back out to the greenhouse! Here's obovata...


Karen

And here's unknown pubicalyx - perhaps Red Buttons or Royal Hawaiian Purple?

And one of my favoriates - blooms very often for me - australis ssp australis.

And shephardii - pretty little flower.

Wow Karen, you have a lot of beautiful blooms at once! I bet that greenhouse is a lovely sight!

And finally, cv Noelle. Really like this one, too. I've got several others getting ready to bloom, also - this is a "boon of blooms" for me!

cv. Noelle is so pretty!

Someday I hope to have more than just one or two blooming at the same time!

Lin - thanks! this is a first for me to have so many at once.

Lin, thanks! I have yellow heuschkeliana but no flowers yet. LOoks like your pink one is pretty big.
kabob, very nice blooms!

Motoskei.

I received my heuschkeliana in a trade last year. It's not a huge plant but has grown a lot since I got it. I love those little blooms. Didn't even realize there was a yellow flowering version until someone posted a photo recently. I really like the looks of the yellow blooming one too!


This photo has been cropped so it looks larger than it actually is.

Yours looks bigger than mine.

Out of that lot so far what Ive got (that arrived the other day) were Eriostemma ciliata IML0390, and H cumingiana IML0168. So, still only small but I'm awaiting, anxiously.

Karen!!!! It's really good to see you posting here again!
Everyone's flowers are gorgeous. All I have blooming are carnosa and obovata, but I am enjoying them.

Barb

P.S. Tell Bets I said hey!

Obscura in bloom, smells nice.

Subcalva in bloom, grape juice any one? that's what subcalva smells like.

I've had a hard time with H. multiflora the past year or so. When it was potted in my mix it did bloom a couple of times but the foliage kept yellowing and dropping. At one point I thought it was going to kick the bucket it looked so bad. I moved it to plain water a few months ago and it seems to be much happier ... buds are getting ready to pop!

That's great that you found what it likes Lin. They're real water hogs so that appears to be the best solution. Can't wait to see the flowers!

H wayetii ( which I know is correct....until someone changes its name )

brevialata and wayetii both have a delicious caramel smell in the evenings, whereas the angustifolia is a daytime smell of chocolate/caramel, but not very strong

Que Lindas!!!! How beautiful...great shots Dom. Some of those smaller flowered babies can have wonderful scent!

Beautiful photo's! That first one does look like brevialata ... identical to one I have that someone identified as brevialata. Great close up shot of angustifolia in your third photo, really nice!

I think this is week 3 or 4 of this H. archboldiana!!!! They don't even look tired!!!

Hoya aff. cardiophylla

really pleasant light lemony scent

h. Fungii

h. Vitellinia ( I think I spelled it right)

h. Red Buttons - It's getting darker blooms now that I moved it to get more sun

h. Iris Marie

h. Lucanosa

Buds finally opened on multiflora

Pretty flowers everyone!!!
Lacunosa "Ruby Sue" starting to bloom.

Whole plant, the leaves are very tender. More peduncles but hidden under the leaves.

Lovely blooms everyone.

Lin, I can't wait to see the blooms on the multiflora when they open. Please post a pic. And, would you be able to post a pic of the whole plant? I really love the flowers, and would love to have a multiflora, but don't have a lot of room for a huge plant.

Thanks. Sarah

Sarah: My last post at 11:18 a.m. above shows the blooms open. I received this multiflora in a trade almost two years ago and it hasn't grown or done much in the time I've had it. I am still trying to figure this one out ... what it likes and doesn't like. It was originally potted in my mix of bark, soil and perlite but the leaves kept turning very yellow and dropping. I finally decided to put it in water and it seems to be doing somewhat better but the foliage still doesn't look great in person.

This is the entire plant ...

I accidently broke off a stem of this one (I think it's called Krinkle 8). It had two peduncles with buds and I figured they would blast. I stuck the cutting in a bottle of water and it surprised me and the blooms opened.
