Just curious with spring coming on, what does everyone have in bloom?
 
My house I have:
Lacunosa (lots of blooms)
speckled lacunosa
brevialata (1st time bloom)
cv. christine
 
Multiflora has buds.
Hoya nummularioides did bloom in the fall for the first time and it had tons of blooms, pretty cool.
Nothing to uncommon but I'm just glad to have blooms.

nothing actually in bloom right now but lots of new peduncles and buds
forming. Spring is certainly in the air---FINALLY--- and the hoyas are
springing to life!!!

I can't wait until it warms up enough and stays warm so I can get my
gh expanded. All of the material arrived last week but it's still too
cold to do anything as construction will require the the existing gh
to stay opened until the new addition is complete. Overall length will
then be 52ft long. I am also enlarging the shade house from 18 X 20
to 18 X 36

I have lots of buds on one of the boutii, and one of the compacta bloomed about two weeks ago.  The rest of my plants are probably all to young yet, but I am excited to see one bloom.  I need to take inventory and see which ones I have lost (lost at least a half dozen or more during the winter).
 
I will try to post a pix when I have blooms. :)

I noticed yesterday that my H. silver pink has buds. This plant will bloom constantly now until fall. It's a very common plant, but has beautiful blooms and smells wonderful!

I only have speckled Lacunosa and Multiflora blooming now but have
buds on Montana and two clumps on Praetorii, it bloomed one clump a
month or so ago and they lasted nearly 2 weeks.

Hi All. I lost so many hoyas this winter. I don't even want to list
the names, some of which I can't even remember...due to the trauma, I
have had to block a lot out.
It is all my fault for the most part. One thing is for sure, I can
tell you all without a doubt which hoyas survive with a very minimal
amount of attention. Oh well, most of the ones I lost were the fussier
varieties anyway.

Ready to bloom or blooming now - carnosas and pubicalyx, (of course),
fungii, mathilde, motoskei,camphorifola, cinnamomfolia, ds-70,
parasitica, and 2 NOIDs. This is what I have noticed so far anyway.

Hope everyone is doing well...

Dear Jen,
This is the first note of Spring and I am so sorry to hear that you
lost so many of your beauties. I really don't know yet. Some look
awful,some just so so and some don't seem to be needing water as much
which I think is a bad sign.How do these things live one their own!!!
No one to Momma them yet they are so beautiful. Again,so sad to read
your post.
Best wishes..Donna

thanks Donna. I really think I was getting to the point where I had
more plants than I could handle or find appropriate room for, so
losing a few wasn't really a big deal. The one I was saddest about
was sigillatis, I have had it for 3+ years, it was looking great, and
I have never seen it bloom. But what can you do?? Fortunately, they
can all be replaced, but I am not going to rush to do so at this
point.

I believe that most plants do fine with less water in the off season,
since they are not growing as much and are getting less light in the
average home, with shorter winter sunlight hours etc. When they are
on their own in their native environment, they survive just fine, with
regular rain showers to keep them happy - and they don't have to worry
about their roots being confined in some pot where they can get root
rot and other issues. I think root rot is the main reason I lose
plants, due to me watering too much or not enough, or not enough and
then too much, followed by long periods of not enough again. It is a
delicate balance we must keep when growing these plants indoors. I
haven't figured it out yet.

I found a peduncle on a plant barely past cutting stage this morning,
one that I got from Sara I think last year - if Sara is reading, it
was one of the ones you sent me after I sent you the turquoise
pot....green leaves with white edges. lost the label but I think it
was albomarginata or something like that. I hardly ever get flowers
on cuttings, hopefully it won't blast!

Hi Jen,

I am so sorry to hear that you lost Sigillatis after having it for
over 3 years...I can imagine how hard that must be...I can truly
relate as Sigillatis is my most favorite hoya..as soon as I laid my
eyes on it. Again, so sorry for the loss of some of your hoyas. I also
lost a few this winter...its been the longest coldest winter in over
30+ years here in FL ...brutal for fl standards.

Best of luck,
Nancy

Hi everyone,
I have hoya imperialis budding up again. It's third time this year, I don't know why but while peduncles growing they suddenly wilted and dropped. I want to see the big flowers this time. I hope it won't drop the peduncles again. Any suggestions?

Esma, I wish I could be of some help and tell you what to do but I
can't even get my imperialis to form a peduncle!!! I have several
clones of this hoya and the largest one is probably 13 feet or more in
length. I grow it very well and it seems to be a happy plant but it
just will not bloom.

Hi everyone,
My name is Marie, I�m growing hoyas in the north of Sweden.

About imperialis, I have had three of my imperialis plants to bloom. Some things that can make it to drop peduncles is to cold tempature or to little water.
Maybe you should check it for vermin?
 
Good luck
//Marie

David,
I hope this summer your imperialis will bloom! Mine is small has only 13 leaves but it is very strong, always tries again to flower. :) I guess I should also correct my wording that it only formed one peduncle and from this peduncle it aborted several buds.
Marie,
The reason could be cold because it was winter when it gave its first buds. How often do you water your imperialis?
Thanks,
Esma Bike
