I have Cahaba Lily and Giant White Spider Lily if you're interested in them to trade for some of your unusual stuff like the one pictured with the purple looking flowers, crocosmia bulbs or rooted brug cuttings. Obviously plants that do well in the desert, indoors or out. Info on Cahaba can be found here: http://nativeplantsfromala.blogspot.com/2010/03/most-beloved-lily-in-alabama-cahaba.html\ They do grow in moving streams and rivers and I've also seen them in a very large pond in a greenhouse in San Francisco but I and others grown them here in the desert in the ground with average water. They usually bloom here in the late summer even in high temps well over 100 deg. The plants are very impressive even when not blooming. These are pretty large bulbs. The giant spider lily grows up to 5 or 6 ft. tall and produces 12 in. wide bloom clusters of 35 to 40 white 5in spider shaped blossoms which are very fragrant. I have rooted pups of these about 6 in. tall. These do best with afternoon shade if grown in high temp areas. Let me know here if you're interested and we'll communicate through e-mail.Thanks!

I had a Hoya set seed, the fragrance was overpowering so as it was in the summer I hung it outside. One day I noticed a long, very skinny seed pod developing. I left it on just to see how it would develop, eventually it split open and the best way I can describe the seeds is they looked like dandelion seed. The Hoya was bought as minima but I now think it must have been serpens. I should have planted the seed but I didn't. I received a few unrooted Hoya cuttings from Australia last spring, they arrived in excellent shape so mailing cuttings here in Canada shouldn't be a problem.

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

Hi, I don't have any cuttings to share at the moment. But I would like to offer some advise. Sometimes even the experts have trouble getting cuttings to root, depending on what kind of Hoya it is. May I suggest you spend a few extra dollars and get a rooted cutting from an on-line vendor? Since you are new to the hoya world, and don't get me wrong, they aren't hard to grow, but I think you may have better results if you start with a growing plant. Trust me, there is a lot more to it than just sticking it in water/soil, if you want to be successful. You would proably end up paying $5.00 + for postage on a cutting. There are vendors on E-Bay, as well as others, that sell them for a little more than that + shipping. But by the time you buy everything to amend your soil, get a pot and all the other stuff that goes along with successfully rooting hoya cuttings, you will have spent a lot more than the cost of a rooted plant on the web. And the ones you get are already in good soil, a decent pot that will accomodate them for a while, and have had all the feeding they need to grow up and be big. Another good source is SRQhoyas, she is so sweet and her postage is very reasonable. She will treat you right. Just my 02 cents worth. . . . Good luck, Maid~
