Knitty Kitty's Recent Hoya acquisitions


Hoya mindorensisThreatened in the wild, this hoya was found in Mindoro Island, south of Manila, Philippines---one of the most oppressively humid places on the planet. 

So I have a friend who orders plants for the both of us because, you know, talking to people, yuck. Anyway, I said we should order hoyas. What I meant was, we should order hostas. So a few facepalms later, I have a bunch of hoyas. 

Here they are after the unboxing.

Later, after potting:


Hoya carnosa compacta


Hoya kerrii 'Variegata'

Hoya carnosa "Krimson Queen"

H. blashernaizii ssp siariae, native to the Bicol Region in Luzon, Philippines.

Hoya mindorensis. Endemic to the Philippines, this hoya's bloom comes very close to being a true red. Doesn't like direct sunlight, prefers the colder part of the year in its native environ.

The same H. mindorensis, already sprouting a peduncle!

H. bilobata

H. kentiana

H. buotii,
