Hoya carnosa 'Tricolor'

Who knew that plants could walk? That's a beauty, Hywel. I would have succumbed too! Does it flower?

Yes it flowers, they look artificial as if made of wax. I used to have a plain green one years ago and someone recently gave me a few cuttings of some different varieties too.

Lovely!

I ve not seen a varigated one before its lovely . Does the flower telease a scent.?

Unusual plant colouring Hywel, and it can walk! My kind of plant.

Thank you all :)

I can't remember if the flowers have a scent Thruppenybit, it's many years since I had one before.

Thank you Hywel 😊 I just wondered if it gave the same flowers I had years ago they were little flowers making a big cluster white with a red like dot in the centre of each flower they use to drip releasing a scent.

Yes that's the flower, exactly the same but I can't remember if it had a scent ... when this one flowers (as I hope it will one day) I'll show a photo of it and I'll be able to tell you if it has a scent :)

Thank you Hywel I shall look forward to seeing it its a beautiful flower is nt it.

Yes I agree and very unusual too :) x

Yes it is an unusual flower Hywel the lady owned a brass shop who have me mine she had it trailing on large hooks across the shops ceiling with lots of flowers on it I had it flowering across my kitchen window until I moved I could nt give it enough light I think as it dwindled and died as I could nt put it by the new kitchen window.

That's a shame Thruppenybit, very disappointing :(

Yes it was Hywel I had large windows at the previous house letting lots of light in. .

I hope my kitchen will suit it after they've put in my new window :)

I am sure it will Hywel. It is nice your having a new kitchen window keep the warmth in better than the older windows . I hope you dont get the ones or people who put mine in as two of my new bedroom windows dropped so they could nt open so I had to get the housing to get them back out to fix them.

Love the way it got into your trolley! When my kids were little I used to find packets of chocolate biscuits in my trolley which I definitely had not put there.

The chap that's doing my window lives about 200 yards away Thruppenybit, and I've had him to do jobs before. He is very god and since he lives so near it's easy to contact him if I'm not satisfied.

Thank you Feverfew, it's strange how that happened ! Haha :D

Thats good you have a reliable workman which has done good work for you prior Hywel glad it is nt a window company.

The window company I used not long ago was a small local firm, and very good. I wouldn't go to the big ones - too impersonal and only want your money.

Beautiful plant ,love the colour and the shine on the leaves

Yes the small local firms are the best Hywel .

Some plans go to extremes to be adopted.

It happens all the time :D
