For anyone who might be interested, here is a single photo I took over the weekend showing the differences between the blooms. Hoya bella on the left, Hoya chinghungensis in the center, and Hoya engleriana on the right.

H. polyneura 'Fishtail Hoya'
Comments (8)Thanks Gabro:>) Not branching out of the soil, but branching off the main stems of the cuttings. For instance, H. laconosa branches OK for me, but I still want to cut off a few more cuttings and fill in any bare spots. I don't know about anulata and how well it branches, if at all. Compacta is not really a good, or fast "brancher" I was given an 8" cuttings of compacta a few years back and cut it right in half and rooted the cut piece back into the same pot. I guess when you see a hoya that just keeps getting longer and longer without branching off the stem, then I would cut back, something I will have to do to my one stemmed bella. (I really hate to cut that one) Oh well, I guess I just have to think about the outcome, a nice "Full" plant someday! Billy Rae...See MoreH. Serpens
Comments (29)Susan..if you can get a picture, you can scan it on a scanner and get it into your computer that way. Guess what folks...major brag here....MINE BLOOMED!! It is gorgeous!! Soft fuzzy green and smells just wonderful. We were getting ready to leave today and I pass by the plant as I go off the porch. I stopped dead in my tracks, and yelled...IT BLOOMED, It BLOOMED. Ha Ha...I had to run back in & get my camera to take a picture. Paul thinks Ive lost it. Ha Ha. I haven't had time to get the chip unloaded in here and resize, etc., but picture will follow shortly. Julia...you are gonna LOVE IT. Just try to ignore it for awhile. I had forgotten all about it (temporarilly), when BOOM...there were those lovely little blooms. YEAH!!

Comments (1)Yep, it's bella....See MoreJust purchased an Invincibelle, the pink H. arborescens
Comments (24)The pink color definitely is more dullish than the advertised version. But is that possible due to the younger age of the plants I have now vs the very large size that have in the promotion vid. The blooms are smaller but very numerous. My plants are 2-gallon size ones, and on avg, 30-40 tennis ball size bloomheads on all of them. That is not bad at all. Actually, if the plant is more like a blushing bride with that pink blush instead of the dusty pink, it would be super lovely. There are actually other versions of a "pink" annabelle in the mkt...see the following link for the other two...eco pink puff is the parent of invincibelle...Bailey is supposed to come out with Belle Anna next yr...suppose to have darker leaves...will see...bottomline, it remains to be seen if IV as good as advertized...my IBs are better the second yr around with very large size budheads and much thicker stems - I got my IBs as little sticks last yr, this yr, the second season, they are already as large as some fairly mature regular annabelles with very thick sturdy stems. Maybe the second season for IV will be better. http://www.hydrangea.com/shopping/pgm-more_information.php?id=630&=SID...See More
