Hoya blashernaezii ssp. valmayoriana

This hoya was first named Hoya valmayoriana and it was published in 2012. It had been in circulation for quite some years as Hoya sp. DMC 1622 and Hoya sp. IML 0831, but then it got a name of its own and it was named in honor of Dr. Helen Valmayor. It only had its own name for a few years, then it was added to the blashernaezii... and was published again in 2014.

I got this hoya as an unrooted cutting in July 2006. After rooting it I put it in a sunny window and it grew quite well for a couple of years. Then when I moved in 2008 I couldn't give it the same sunny spot so it was sort of slowly down hill... I moved again in 2009 and in our new house I cut off what still looked good and today I have a rather nice blooming plant and it sure gets lots of sun i our sunniest window.

The first time it bloomed was in May 2011 and since then it has bloomed a lot. They really do look like if you take flowers from siariae and "bend" them backwards. They are sweet, but I guess I like the look of siariae better.
