This hoya is a
cross between Hoya obovata and Hoya carnosa and it originates from
Eva-Karin Wiberg. She had seeds in Hoya obovata and this is one of
the seedlings. Does anyone know if she saved any other seedlings or
"just" this one? It would be interesting to know if all cuttings of
this hoya originates from the same seedling. |

This is
definately not a fast growing hoya, but give it several years and
perhaps you'll have a fairly large plant. It an easy to grow hoya
since it doesn't demand much. The leaves show clearly who the
parents are! It has the lovely dark spotted leaves from obovata, but
they are not as round as obovata, but more elongated as carnosa. The
leaves are 6-10 cm long and 4-8 cm wide and more or less covered in
spots. Lovely foliage if it's not grown in too much sun. A shaded
spot is recommended. |

The flowers are
really nice and it's easy to see who the parents are.
The flowers look mostly like carnosa, but the corona is darker and
the flowers are not as flat as carnosa, but more recurved like
obovata. The flowers are almost 2 cm when flat, produce lots of
nectar and have a weak mostly like carnosa fragrance. Each umbel has 20-25 flowers and
I had heard they would last up to three weeks, but mine started
wilting after two weeks. |
