I will be getting multiflora as well from a nice member on here. I'm still interested in australis spp. tenuipes. I don't have anymore room so I don't need RHP for now. Brad AKA Moonwolf

My HD or Lowes and Walmarts never ever have them here either. Everybody always posts how they find them there so I always look, ....but nope. However, a few years back the Stater Bros. grocery stores kept getting several varieties in. Haven't seen any lately though. A nursery here USED to have big specimens of several kinds that came in regularly, but this year they said they no longer carry them as the supplier moved. Bummer!

Hi Shiver, I wish I can just drive down the road and buy hoyas. Hoyas here are far and few between. I live in a fairly small town and none of my nurseries sell them. Only the big box stores occasionally have them and they get in the same ones on the rare times they get them. So yes, I have to order mine on line, if I want different ones than what the big box stores carry. I hate paying for shipping charges, unless its one I really like. Actually I'm a lightweight compared to most on here, I only have a very small collection. I also have a thing for hoya leaves with a lot of fleckings and splashes. But I especially love the red leaves on the new growth. Enjoy your hoyas...

Glad to hear you got the one you wanted. Did you get it from someone in here?? Well I THINK I have the 'Hawaiian Purple', it's growth and blooms look like those top pics. BUT its NEW growth is VERY dark, including the stems. And has no twisting,or that rosey blush on it. The leaves are very thick and have the silver splashes on it, no thinness to it and it doesn't twist either. That name 'Philipine Black' is a name I have heard of. I either had it, or got it with my Hawaiian, and it didn't live. I dont have a tag on my 'Hawaiian Purple'. It never bloomed till this past winter, finally, after 5-7 years of waiting, so it got lost over time. Now it has like 10 spurs, and 8 are putting out new buds now.know now. It is SO big, lots of long vines, I guess it is happy now, thus the spurs, finally! The bloom pic. at the top IS what I have. I can take pictures of the blooms when they open in 2 weeks or so. That 'Super Splash' one is amazing! Your own cross??? Do you have a lot it...for trade or sale?? Or is it just that 1 vine? It ever bloom? Has that 'Philipine Black' you have bloomed for you yet? This is a picture of a cutting I got on here like 3 yrs ago, the tag on it faded fast in the sun. so no name. I posted these pics. on here, but no one knows the name of it. This top pic. is one of my oldest hoyas a 'Macgillvrayii' that I adore. As you see, the leaves are a plain light green. nothing special, but this is its first bloom ever. And it has the regular 'Pubicalyx fragrance to it. So,it is un-named. I grow several of the 'Macs' and several colors of the 'Archboldandias', the BIG bloomers. I am still waiting for blooms to happen on most. This is the one that blooms for me all year. Almost non stop.
