Hoya HSI-037

This hoya was bought with a sticker on it that said: Hoya hybrid Mirashiro. It looks more like the one that goes under the name HSI-037, but if that is a real name or not I really have no clue. This hoya will just have to remain here until it blooms - whenever that will be!

This is a hoya which is best grown on a support. It has smooth bright green leaves and no spots at all. The leaves look almost like plastic, but it's a beautiful hoya. The leaves are about 7-12 cm long, 2-3.5 cm wide with visible a little "sunken" middle nerv. This hoya has clear sap.

The flowers will have to be a surprise when they show up. The hoya called HSI-037 has flowers very similar to H. pubicalyx 'Pink Silver', but on some photos they look a lot darker. This could be due to light etc... I'll see when my own plant blooms.
