Hoya polystachya

I got this hoya as an unrooted cutting in a trade from Denmark in October 2002. I knew it was a bad time of year to root cuttings, but I really wanted this one with the large beautiful leaves... Well, it didn't die, it didn't root and it didn't grow... In February 2003 it didn't feel "loose" in the pot any longer... Yes, I am a tugger and I always will be!

After it finally rooted it decided to grow slowly but I think today (September 2005) the plant is really big and since May 2004 it has flowered several times. All the peduncles seems to be gathered in the same place and some of them are joined at the base... It's a cool hoya!
