I expected the buds on the plant to open in about 2 weeks after observing their size the day before so imagine my disappointment the next morning when I opened the tent. The buds on one plant had opened and I was shocked to find some yellow flowers with a reddish corona and not the very large pink bell-shaped flowers that I expected from Hoya desvoeuxensis. It did not take too long to ID the Hoya and it was a new one to me, but not the plant that I had wished for all of these years.
