Hey PBL! I posted this 3 years ago now, wow times flies! I have increased my collection of Hoya 10 fold since posting this. I have many different Pubicalyx Royal Hawaiian Purple now. Splash varieties, super splash, normal etetc. I'm glad you're happy with the one you have, they are my favorite Hoya ever. The Hoya 'black dragon' I thought I had turned out to be 'Phillipine Black'! It has very interesting leaves, they grow in red, green, purple, and any combination of those. They are very slender and sometimes twist and turn in odd shapes. I really love this plant for that reason, very unique! I'd love to see photos of your Pubicalyx bloom if you have any to share :)

She has yet to bloom for me so I'm not sure what they will look like.

This is a Hybrid I have, both parents are pub. Rhp. Somehow I ended up with a supersplash!

I can trade a Pubicalyx Black Dragon cutting, a Bright one cutting, Red Buttons, also have a 3 year old mature carnosa I'd be willing to trade. Not opposed to purchasing either. Thank you for replying :)

I am a great fan of the Hoya pubicalyx. I have just started collecting, and while most are not big enough to take cuttings from, I did recently receive extra cuttings of 'Splash' if you would be interested in it. You can email me at jan2san@verizon.net and mention hoya pubicalyx.

Hoya pubicalyx is the species and the rest of the various names are given to horticultural selections or sometimes naturally found variants. The horticultural selections like Pink Silver, Royal Hawaiian Purple and Chimera are selected because of different flower colour or leaf colour traits but they are all the same species. Hoya pubicalyx Chimera has a tendency to produce multi coloured blooms that are randomly splashed with a lighter or darker colour. I am not sure if Royal Hawaiian Purple has the same tendency but it's leaves are a beautiful dark purple while developing. If you are shopping for a Hoya pubicalyx just find one with a trait you like such as a specific flower colour and don't worry too much about the variety name that is associated with it, these names are not registered anyways so there are more floating around out there than there probably should be considering some of the varieties are so close together in appearance.

'Chimera' Pubicalyx

Oh, yeah, those dark leaves are definitely characteristic of 'RHP'!! Gorgeous! But I have to say that the leaves on my 'RHP' are typically MUCH narrower than yours. I'm sure there are differnt clones, so maybe that's the difference. But my 'RHP' has no silver flecking at all, so it makes me wonder if there is perhaps a clone of 'RHP' out there that might actually be a cross between the very splashy clone of 'PS' that I have and 'RHP'. You're 'PS' is much less flecked and leaves are wider than mine. I think it's so interesting how many different clones there are of these pubicalyx cultivars!! Denise in Omaha

Are you still looking for this Hoya? I just found this post. I have a lot of this Hoya:), it is in full bloom now to. I thought it was a 'fad' Hoya when I bought it a few years ago. I never see it for sale now. I thought i was taken for a ride for buying it. I saw no difference between it and the regular 'Pubicalyx 'Silver Splash''? With the silver streaks/splashes on the leaves and the same flowers as you have posted, but all deep pink and no mixed colors like in your picture.

I now have it blooming with those blooms, and the new growths on it are all deep red/purple, then turn green later. They have splashes on the leaves, so it really is a different plant.

I really thought I was cheated when I bought it, like 3 years ago. It is now growing and blooming like nuts! It was mixed in with my plain one, and I never saw this mixed colored blooms, till I separated it, and well, now it is growing terrific! So...let me know if you need or want it. And ...what is this 'Black Dragon' you have like?? Bloom-wise and plant/leaf wise.

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.

Wow, truly beautiful flowers you have there. I am really impressed by those! The plain green leaved Hoya that blooms pink is Pubicalyx 'Pink Dragon', not rare but not readily available either at least from what I've seen.

The Pubicalyx hybrid was sold to me by someone on here by the name of 'aurorawa'. She is an incredible grower! I'm sure if I did a little digging on here I could find the original thread where we discuss this plant! She has never bloomed, and I would love to share some but yes, it is only that one vine at this time. 'Phillipine black' has never bloomed either, I'm hoping for this year, but I'll certainly come back to this thread if that happens! Happy growing<3

Someone else on here told me the name of that one was 'Pink Dragon' as well.

I put up pictures of 3 hoyas that I had no names of, from wonderful cuttings I got 3 years ago, after a hurricane wiped out my entire hoya collection. I got like 40 cuttings all named, but the tags wore off in weeks. This one finally bloomed. Non others ever have. Then this one put out a 5 foot vine and it bloomed! So,I guess it is Pink Dragon! I'll have to pot it up and save it, maybe it will grow into a better plant.

I have THIS other hoya that is a big plant, that is blooming NOW, 5 big umbels of blooms. Do you know what this one might be??? Its tag says 'RHM Peters-V'...pretty sure it says that, it is faded out. Any idea what it means? They are fragrant and on long seems with no leaves, if that means anything. Odd to bloom on bare old stems. is it a private cross maybe??? If you have thoughts, it would be great. Thanks.
