We've got several H. lacunosa and this is the first one to flower. The different varieties come from Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand. It's a smaller Hoya compared to some and its growth habit suits a hanging basket or pot. The leaves are lacunose, which I understand means "cupped" or "sunken" referring to the effect on the leaves the raised veins give. The flower has a lovely fragrance and I've heard that when the plant is large with lots of flowers the effect of that is quite amazing. So for the records our little H. lacunosa flowered in the third week of October. 2006.

Beautiful bloom on your lacunosa...do you like the scent?...what species is it and did you get it from David Liddle also?...

This was one of the early Hoya's I bought Sandy and it came from Collectors Corner just labelled H.Lacunosa. They tend to be less specific than David Liddle. Yes it's a lovely scent, I'm looking forward to when it gets lots of blooms and fills the air.
