I did not expect this plant to flower at all because she is a small plant but wow, so nice to see the first flower, it gives me joy and I feel that this plant is happy in my care.
This is my Hoya Multiflora or shall we called a Shooting star. This Hoya I got from Kim’s Nature in Markham, Ontario. Yes. my family and I drove to Markham. Ontario for a long drive after a long month COVID lockdown. Anyhow, this is one of my dream hoyas since I started to collect them.
According to the Encyclopedia of Succulents, the origin and habitat of hoya multiflora or shooting star are from the forest of the following countries Burma to Thailand, China, Malaysia, Java, Indonesia, and the Philippines. This hoya was being described in 1823.
This Hoya is compact, upright, and shrubby. I observed this hoya that it doesn’t produce branches. What I really like about this plant is its flowers. It has arrow-shaped petals that bend like a shooting star. When she starts to flowers it produces so many flowers, that’s why they called this plant multiflora because of that feature.
When I got this Hoya, it was June 2020. I cannot remember exactly the date. It has two peduncles then after a week, it adds another in the total of 6 peduncles. I've waited for weeks before they really opened it into full bloom and yes it lasted for about 12 days.
I am bored I can think of so many things to do to avoid boredom and sewing is one of them. I am not an expert on this skill however I know the basic steps in sewing. I learned and I started to like it when I was in high school. My mother of course taught me the very basics of sewing and then I learned some of those steps during my second year high at school.
Note: this post was repost from my old blog... I just don't want to lost it...
This is my latest dress creation, made with love especially for my daughter and son. I decided to sew this dress and long sleeves when they got invited for a birthday party. The theme for that party was "Winter Wonderland". The celebrant made a request that all her guests will wear baby blue or white.
This long sleeve is for my eldest son and of course he is happy and proud too. This is one of his favorite.For dress ribbon zipper | $9.69 $1.00 $2.00 |
