Hoya Flower Pollination. They bloom flowers after 1 year of planting provided with waxy texture and are available in white red pink colors. 19012021 Hoya species produce white flowers strong nocturnal fragrance and abundant nectar.
The morphology of the pollinating apparatus consisting of guide rails stamens pollinaria and stigmas of selected species of Hoya and of Dischidia as well as of Stephanotis floribunda and of Marsdenia cordifolia is examined and. Although the pollination system of Hoya is largely unknown pollination by insect legs may be a major pollination system in this genus because these basic floral characters are shared. The pollination of two Hoya species has been studied previously but little is known about the specific nature.
Many times by myself.
Pollination is poorly understood but plants left outdoors in temperate regions do sometimes produce seed indicating pollination by local insects. Hoya and Dischidia are closely related genera but molecular phylogenetic analyses have not succeeded in revealing their exact relationship. My hoya carnosa did not bloom for several years but once it started it bloomed every single year to some degree. Here we report a new mechanism of asclepiad pollination in the wax plant Hoya carnosa.
