    Hi folks, I'm wondering if anyone knows of a anywhere in uk that sells a variety of hoya on line. Most uk places I only see carnosa and I'm desperately in need ...... Yes in "need" ha ha of an Indian rope hoya, I think it's proper name is hoya compacta. I never see this type of hoya on ebay neither. Any clues folks

    seen on sale the kerry and the variegated at ikea and carnosa at homebase overall
    sometime i go to an Italian garden forum where they have a section dedicated to hoya
    ......to be honest there are some really nice and strange form of hoyas , but not my cup of tea .

    if anyone is interested I can ask a supplier of rare hoyas.
