    You could have a look at this site. http://www.paulshirleysucculents.nl/ He has a long list of hoyas. I bought a number of Stapeliad cuttings from him, they arrived within a week of ordering good condition, reasonable size and clearly labelled . The stapeliads can be bought either as rooted or unrooted cuttings, the unrooted being cheaper. I don't know whether the hoyas would be rooted or unrooted.
    Big advantage is that being in the EU no problems with customs etc.

      Thanks NigelJ,
      Yes, I have an order in with Paul Shirley and they should turn up next week :)
      The Hoya from my mother is more of a sentimental thing. It would be nice to have something that belonged to her mum (as well as mine) and I would love to try and do it just for that reason.
      Cheers

        Very nice collection, i love them too. Hoya bella is one of my favourites. Most of my pics are on the desktop i must learn how to get them to my laptop. My hoya carnosa is just flowering now.

          Most of my Hoyas was purchased from Thailand and Italy but that was several years ago and you would need to check them for bugs if they did get through as i had allsorts of bugs come with the plants :yikes:

            did you have also a little soil around the roots or bare roots?
