Hoya magnifica Forster & Liddle
|
|
||
|
This hoya comes from Papua New Guinea and it was described in 1992. |
||
|
It belongs to the same group as Hoya albiflora, Hoya calycina, Hoya australis and some others that I don't know the names of. |
||
|
It has big, fuzzy leaves, about 13-16 cm long and 6-8 cm wide. It's a fast grower, twines quite well and likes some limestone added to the soil mix. |
||
|
The flowers are spectacular - to
LOOK at! They are almost completely white with only a little red under the
white corona. The flowers are somewhat cup shaped, about 4-5 cm each,
last (unfortunately!) almost two weeks and smells like a stable! At least,
that's my experience of the flowers, but I've heard others say they find
the fragrance pleasant... There can be up to 25 flowers in each umbel, but
more common is 10-20.

I will upload better pictures of the flowers as soon as mine has flowered again... Which could be sooner than I think, because there are two peduncles with small buds on the way! Buds falling off every time, but - some day! |
