I love the flowers, glad I got that one huh!! Kelly I got my mindorensis from Kartuz. The leaves are thick and hard to the touch but small. When I touched the leaves, just by looking at them I didn't expect the leaves to be that thick or hard.
Here's a pic of mine. It's grown one leaf since I got it this spring. I love all the colors of the leaves. Sorry the pic is a little blurry.

Jan, I've enjoyed seeing your mindorensis pictures on this and other forums. I have just put it on my 'MUST HAVE NOW' list. I have been searching the on-line sites to see who has one. Quite a few of the sites are out of stock on a lot of hoya. I wonder why????? Could it be, that by posting all these georgeous blooms, we addicts have bought them out. LOL.
Keep taking those pretty pictures.

Mine just finished blooming and I have to say after seeing the flowers in person it has now become one of my favorites. I did take pictures but I have no idea how to post them on this site.

dmichael, here is an instruction from 1 of the GW member.

Here's the basics:
I think it's easier to do all this if you have two browser windows open - one on photobucket and one on gardenweb.
Go to photobucket(dot)com and open an account. It's free, takes only a minute, and is no harder than signing on to GardenWeb. There are other photo posting services but I think this one is the easiest to use.
Once you have the account you'll see how easy it is to upload your photos to photobucket. You can set up sub-albums with one click of the mouse, so you can sort your photos into different subject (more on that below).
When they are there, you'll see three little 'addresses' under each picture. Highlight the middle one - the TAG line - and 'copy' it. (You can copy it by right clicking on your mouse and selecting 'copy', or by clicking on EDIT at the very top of your computer screen.)
Once it's copied, go to the GardenWeb message you are composing and paste the TAG line directly into the text of your message. Don't put it at the URL line under the text box. At this point you will only see text, but once you choose to view your message you'll see the photo. If it comes out too big, then go back to photobucket and choose the EDIT button over that photo. You'll have the option there to reduce the photo by 75, 50, or 25 percent. 75% makes it a good size for these messages, but 50% works too. Try both on different photos and see what you like.
Technically I think you can post as many photos as you want in each message but remember that not everyone has a high speed line and try to keep it to 5 or less. More than that makes it pretty slow to load for some.
Here's the sub-album tip about photobucket or any other service you use: set up sub-albums for different subjects so you don't end up with 200 photos in one album.

What an absolutely Gorgeous Bloom, so vivid. That is one of the prettiest flower I think I have ever seen...

my first attempt at posting a pic. I hope it works!!!!

dmichael, it worked. Beautiful plant. Happy Birthday!!!
Jan

Oh, my ... this really is a gorgeous bloom!

Jan thanks for the b-day wishes. It was a good one (41)!! This is a pic of the entire mindorensis plant,it's about 3 1/2 yrs old from a cutting and I find that this one seems to prefer to remain pot bound it's in one of those white 4 1;2" baskets

here's a closer shot of the flowers

Very nice Dmichael!
