All is growing...

...Well, ALMOST all.  My very stubborn H. sigillatis is still showing no signs of growth.  I mist it daily and encourage it, and though it feels fat and happy, no growth.  

Hoya parasitica 'Lau 2', which I've apparently had 5 years, has a new shoot.  Now this one did well for me for awhile, then it went into decline.  It got down to only 3 leaves.  I seem to recall I put it in my humidity dome for a period of time.  That might have been last summer.  It stabilized and looked healthy other than only having 3 leaves this last winter.  Well, I was starting to wonder if it would ever grow and lo and behold, I found a new shoot a week or so ago.  I'm anxious for it to fill in again!  It has such pretty splotchy leaves... here's a photo from when it was full and nice:

Next to it on the shelves in the GH is H. sp. 22 'Khao Yai' - I got a cutting of that from Kathy, then one from Ric as well.  It's looking freakin' fantastic this year and growing like a weed!  I'm not sure how long ago I got it...

 

Not a great pic, but it shows all the new vines and tiny leaves.  The leaves are super-pretty on this one... similar to macrophylla only smaller...

 

Then above that is bicknellii, which I got as a cutting from Dee in Florida in 2011.  It's turned into quite a gorgeous plant!

 

It's been growing in that same spot for at least 2 years without being turned, so all the leaves are facing the window.  I need to turn it around to give it more uniformity.  I'll do that in a bit and take another pic.  I like this one because it's very succulent.  I bet Dee's is a monster by now!!

I restarted my diversifolia this spring.  The whole plant took a dump over the winter.  I think the soil it's in is rock solid, and the whole thing got very dehydrated, to the point I didn't think I could salvage it.  But I never give up without at least trying and just put the best stems in water and waited.  It took it a long time over the winter and early spring, but it grew roots and rehydrated.  I planted it upprobably 3 months ago and it just took off like a rocket! Here's what it looks like today:

 

Unbelievable!  And there's lots of new points of growth, like this...

  Also growing well is my Dischidia parasitica:

 

I also started a small one off of this that's now growing in the sunroom.  Though it's a bit fussy, this is one of my favorite Dischidias...

Memoria has turned into one crazy big plant, especially considering it's a small-leaved Hoya and in only a 5" pot. Here is a pic of the whole plant:

 

And it's been budding and blooming like crazy - here are two photos...

 

 

These two were taken a week or 10 days ago, before they blooms started opening.  Here's what the open flowers look like:

 I must be doing something right!  

Lastly, I wanted to show the new growth on 'Michelle', which has barely grown for me until this year.  The new growth is just outstanding.  I took two photos, one with flash and one without:

 And that's it for today!
