hoyas are amazing, and i have never seen any other bud that is like that on any type of plant species. it is the star bud, the 3D triple layer floral bloom, and the whole shebang layered blossom too…out of this world spectacular to me. i was just replanting some other succulents that are overgrown this evening (too large and hanging out of pot as growing so happily). i never quite know if they will adjust to repotting so i hope that i did not kill anything in my weakened gnome state 🙂 i had to do it since piece broke off from weight of growth and poor little baby roots could not secure it. i broke off some tendrils though and now i am worried i might have prematurely altered its life. yeah, for me the plants are living babies and i do not wish them any harm. any thoughts or suggestions… since you are the botanist?
