Hoya Carnosa

This hoya originally came from my great grandma 25+ years ago in Seattle. My grandma took clippings from her, my mom took clippings from my grandma in Alaska, and I just took clippings from my mom and brought them to Florida. A multi-generational hoya :) It rooted very quickly and is now growing like a week in this humid weather. The new growth starts out very dark (see above), then lightens up.

Brassavola Nodosa

This orchid is also called "Lady of the Night" because it only smells at night when it's blooming. And it smells just like Jägermeister!!

Hoya Lacunosa

Hoya Lacunosa blooming! This is potted in a 4" terracotta pot, mixed in with my orchids. It gets pretty much the same treatment as everything else, I just water it once it dries out. This plant has about 15 peduncles currently blooming.

Paph. Pinocchio

I got this from Home Depot last year. It was tagged wrong and had no open flowers, so I didn't know what I was buying. It has had one spike blooming continuously for the past few months. Two other growths started producing spikes, and now there are 3! This flower is about 1.5" tall.
