Hoya odetteae GPS 10098 & Hoya obscura GPS 1108

New Paul Shirley cuttings arrived today!




I know, I know, not much time between the last order and this one, a week to be precise(! ), but I saw
these Hoya's in Paul's shop and I was afraid that they would be sold out in no-time.
The Hoya fever catched me real hard, no doubt about that!

It was a day with perfect Hoya weather, the humidity inside the house is the same as it must be in
a tropical rain forest if you ask me, it's above 90%!
Here is a picture of our hygrometer, it hangs 2 meters above the ground;

Tomorrow it's probably a bit lower, the weather forecast say that it is gonna be a lot cooler.



Luckily I'm fairly handy with the drill to make drainage holes in clay pots, but it takes a lot of time.
Mart had a splended idea a few weeks ago,  he had the suggestion to buy colored plastic pots and
make holes in them with a heated knitting needle, what a great idea, I'm ready in no-time now!



So, today I got these two new Hoya's, both rooted, because my little greenhouse is full with unrooted
cuttings.
The first one is Hoya obscura GPS 1108.
It's green now but it can get beautiful red colors when it gets a lot of light.



The second one is Hoya odetteae GPS 10098

An adorable little Hoya.
