This hoya
comes from Java and it was published in 1849. I have also read that
it was lost for a long time, but was found in 1993 in Malaysia by
Tony Lamb and Ted Green, who then thought they had found Hoya
coriacea. Both hoyas are very similar and fraterna means brother. |

This hoya is
rather easy to grow, grows fast and is often described as a real
beginners hoya and that it blooms early... The rather dark green
leaves are thin and have prominent veins. They are 10 - 18 cm long and
4 - 8 cm wide. |

De bakåtböjda
blommorna är väldigt håriga, ca 2 cm stora innan de böjer bak
kronbladen. Blommorna har gul (nästan lite orange) korolla med
ljusgul korona och inne i koronan är en vit stjärna med lite rosa
runt om... I en blomklase kan det sitta 30-50 (ibland fler!) blommor
och doften beskrivs som övermogna bananer och det tycker jag stämmer
ganska bra. Hållbarheten är ungefär 5-6 dagar. |
