Hoya Shepherdii (possibly)
During last winter the Green Shop at Clayfield were having a sale, so I managed to pick up this huge Hoya ( simply labelled Hoya species) for $15 . It took me an hour to untangle it, divide it up and take cuttings. I got three good sized plants from it plus cuttings. From checking different websites I concluded it may be Hoya Shepherdii, and a few people more knowledgeble than myself think so too. Sandy from Hoyas etc. also suggested possibly Hoya CV Minibelle. Well..... one of the smallest cuttings has started a bud, I have heard people remark that they have had cuttings flower before, but I don't know how common it is. I hope I did the right thing, it was in water (it had two roots on it about 1/2 inch long) and when I saw the bud I thought I'd better plant it. So I've got my fingers crossed.
Hi Roy,
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see your peduncle blooming....we can finally determine the plant you have...it definately looks quite pink like a minibelle bloom but it will be nice to determine it for sure...

How is your shepherdii(?) peduncle doing? is it near blooming yet?...
