My first obovata was an unrooted very small cutting that I got in a trade in July 2003. It was only one leaf and a very small piece of stem and I never thought it would root, even less start to grow and flower! But it finally rooted and started growing. It flowered in May 2004 when it was still nothing more than a more "normal" cutting...

I really liked the leaves of Hoya obovata, so when I had the chance to buy a large really nice looking plant very cheap in March 2004... Well, I just had to buy it! It has grown quite well and there are several peduncles and it has flowered a lot over the years. However, I can't seem to get enough of these flowers. They are just so cute!
