"LOL.  What, me, over the top?! :P I love your response.  So, maybe there are some Hoyas that stay "new looking" longer?  Like, those with super hard glossy leaves like bicknellii or those that with rough resistant surfaces…"

"There are three categories of Hoya foliage that really ring my bell. Leaves with a camouflage look.  (e.g. caudata, waymaniae, sigillatis, sp. UT 001, mitrata) Leaves with a sharp blade-like shape (e.g. rigida 1424, acuta, amoena, pallida, EPC…"

Splash, veined or variegated leaves

Just wondering as I collect, which hoyas have the nicest leaves? I love the ones with prominent veining, splashed or variegated. I like the small leaved hoyas well really I like them all, but which would you reccommend,  so I can look at some pictures on the net. Thanks guys for your input. All my Joni's are growing and looking good.See More

I hope you are o.k. with the storms hitting you.... Do you have lots of Hoya more than 18?  I like them but have been discouraged in the past with problems.  Up here we get so little light only in the Summer I would be able to leave them out but where.... in the shade I suppose.  I don't really know much about these plants and every year I look for blooms but I get none.  I hope to learn from this group.... Who is Joni who sent an order out, does she sell Hoya's?
