Random flower/leaf photos

5 years ago

We are well into Spring here in Aus and some of the hoyas are waking up, some are already flowering. I have some first time bloomers growing peduncles here as well like serpens, verticillata, variegated multifloras, heuschkeliana, Krimson Queen, Purple Pride (a variety of KQ) Pubicalyx Pink Silver, Chiang Mai, several compactas ( variegated and plain green) and fungii. Pachyclada blasted it's buds again... sigh.

Flowering (or going to) again is Minibelle, obovata, bella, lacunosa and normal multiflora. I love this time of year :D

Minibelle

Multiflora

verticillata

Purple Pride

KP and ischnopus

I have put a lot outdoors now so there is a fair bit of action going on :D

Verticillata bloomed, the smell is amazing! The flowers are squashed against a trellis and under a leaf, silly plant!

More Minibelle

Multiflora

Bordenii getting a nice sun tan.

RHP getting new growth again

Bella budding up on a semi rooted cutting

and kerrii put outside to see if I get some new growth this season.

Thanks everyone! A beautiful plant....and who knew it had so many medicinal purposes!! I don't plan on cooking up any home remidies, but it is being used for cancer treatments, diabetes, high blood pressure, etc. I think this is a miracl plant! Fascinating!

Yes at the time I had just bought it so I was thinking that leaf got damaged some how during shipping. I did end up cutting it off because it started losing its stiffness. Since then I have kept an eye on it and it hasn't had any other issues. I water it on average about every 2 to 2 and half weeks. Thanks

How pretty! Definitely eye candy for those of us entering the colder months of the year. We've had snow already. I have peduncles that developed on my Hoya carnosa and on my shepherdii. They would always dry up when they would develop before, but I've been misting them on a daily basis so the vines wouldn't shrivel up like they have done in the past. Hoping for flowers come spring.

Tremendous show Triffid. Thx soooo much for sharing w/ us. I'd never seen that cluster like Minibelle before of the 1st photo. Many I'd never seen bloom pix of, so fun!

I had this green & white var. Kerrii myself, in Hydro from a Hydro vendor, was a very slow grower. Yours looks fantastic, so nice to see it again!
