Help with Hoya ID Please
Comments (5)Thanks for your help. I guess I will just have to wait and see on the pubicalyx. Strangely enough I just looked closely at one of my other hoyas this morning and I believe I have a peduncle forming. I thought this plant would never bloom! I lost count on how old it is. It is huge and it is in a 6" pot. I kept thinking I needed to repot it, but I'm not going to touch it now. I don't even know what it is either. I had always assumed it was a carnosa. ...if this actually does bloom, I will do a cartwheel!!!...See MorePlease help ID these Hoyas
Comments (6)Looks good! As far as the australis ID by leaf, remember that there will be a lot of variation in leaf shape and size on any ONE plant. Don't ID by leaf shape alone. An easy way to tell if yours is ssp. australis or ssp. tenuipes, is to check the leaves for pubescence (tiny hairs that make the leaf feel fuzzy). If the leaf is pubescent on the undersides and top (the top of the leaf will be less pubescent), then it is australis ssp. australis. If the leaf is glabrous (lacking hairs/pubescence), then you have australis ssp. tenuipes....See MorePlease help id for this plant a hoya?
Comments (14)Ycloh1, Hi again it's me who referred you here & to C&S too. Pls. allow some time & have patience. We are not professionals at this, nor do we offer 24 hr service. I predict the answer will be at C&S if you allow time & patience pls. Perhaps as much as a week, not a day. I realize you've posted multiple places looking, but we're trying to help you. I brought you here, hoping exactly these 2 women would see this; as I knew they could rule it in or out of Hoya / Dischidia question (meaning Aurora & Denise). When I saw this at Houseplants, I suggested not Hoya / Dischidia, but some form of Crassula, explaining to you that Crassulas were a large family w/ stacked varieties as well. Could you pls keep checking there (at C&S) but give it at least a week? Really. PS: I hadn't seen you'd posted at Hoyas already when I suggested it....See MorePlease help ID these hoyas.
