I got this hoya on May 17 2006. I noticed it on a Hoyatrip (sounds exciting doesn't it? It was here in Sweden) about a month earlier and I fell instantly  in love with the big leaves. The guy had no cuttings available but I e-mailed him and ordered this and one other hoya. The cutting had two gorgeous leaves, but I'm only showing one... It was unrooted and it took a while before it started growing, but it did and seemed to want ot become a big plant and it even developped a peduncle and tiny buds... until one day when it started yellowing and died.

I went to a Hoya meeting in Varberg on May 28th 2011 and when I got there I noticed this nice rooted cutting and it seemed to have been "waiting" for me to take it home and so I did five years after the first one moved in and they both come from the same place. In only about one month it has grown well and new leaves are nicely red - for a while... This time I WILL get it to enjoy lift in my care and hopefully get it to bloom. As far as I know I don't know anyone who's had it in bloom... and there are very few photos of it on the internet.
