We recently bought a little house at Tamborine Mountain which is an hours drive south of Brisbane. Its a retreat we'd like to share with family and friends in the years ahead. To our delight we found this well established Hoya carnosa growing up this large tree fern. It has countless blooms and seems perfectly suited to its host. There are lots of spots where we can grow some of the more cold tolerant Hoyas and we have a greenhouse there to house some of the more tropical ones over winter.

This is our first bloom of Hoya C.V." Krimson Queen" I love the way the new foliage matches the flower. Over on the fence we have two nice little blooms on Hoya C.V. "Minibelle" which seems quite happy in late morning dappled sunlight.

This Hoya lacunosa has lots of blooms at the moment. Its normal habit is to hang down in the pot, but because its in a wall pot on the side of the house its happily creeping up on the wall (Ivy style.) This flower has a lovely fragrance. It's nice to see three blooms in a row.

Hoyas are wonderful plants, when they bloom, which in most cases is not often, Shooting Star is an exception, it has blooms on it most of the year. Most hoyas are very fragrant, Shooting Star is not but is a fun houseplant to have around.

This H. pubicalyx "Pink silver" has flowered again on the same peduncle, it seems to get better with each bloom. The top flower is supposed to be H. gracilis, it was one of my first purchases and labelled with this name. I am starting to wonder if it is actually H. davidcummingii. I should post it on one of the forums and get an opinion maybe. These two are worth a click to enlarge.

I was quite taken with this pair of H. australis leaves with the beautiful veins and the shine on the leaves. The great thing about Hoyas is you can enjoy beautiful verdant green foliage of various shapes and sizes during the growing season. In contrast to the perception of a scruffy neglected plant that some people seem to have of Hoyas they really can be quite striking.

There seems to be saying about Hoyas in the community that I've heard a few times now. You may have heard this or some variation. "Hoyas thrive on neglect" I've come across this a couple of times in the last fortnight. . . .

I was surprised to see new buds on the peduncle of my H.pachyclada. It's actually only just finished flowering a fortnight ago. I know that peduncles will continue to produce new umbels but I didn't realise it would be so soon. I must ask the experts on Wax plant forum and see what they say.

Welcome to our newest visitors, from Christmas Island (pop. 1500).
Strange to find out you’re nowhere near the North Pole, but 360 km SW of Java, in the Indian Ocean. (Actually there are two Christmas Islands—the first a territory of Australia, the second one better known as Kiritimati, part of the Republic of Kiribati and likewise without igloos. It’s right near the Equator in the Pacific.)
