This hoya comes from
Java and it was described in 1950. |
|
It's a
climbing hoya with rather long narrow leaves, about 8-15 cm
long and 2-5 cm wide. The leaves have visible/raised veins
and some flecks. The name is said to mean beautiful and
that's true about the leaves! However, the leaves look a lot
like
Hoya sp. Bogor (link will open up in a new window) and I
did read somewhere that Hoya sp. Bogor actually could be
Hoya amoena... I've also read that this is "just" another
variety of Hoya verticillata... But, I'm not changing
anything until I know more! In my opinion Hoya sp. Bogor has
more beautiful leaves and it has more flecks... |
|
The
flowers are said to be light pink and verticillata like...
That's all the info I can find on the flowers and I've found
no information about how long the flowers last or if they
are fragrant or not... Some day perhaps I might get to sniff
the flowers on my plant, but then it needs to start growing
first... |

I did a search on this hoya and found
this link to some photos:
Hoya amoena (link will open up in a new window). In this photo
the flowers are yellow... In this link they look more like pale
pink:
Hoya amoena (link will open up in a new window) and they look a
lot like Hoya sp. Bogor. Oh well, some day (when my cutting starts
growing) I might find out for myself... |
