Hoya Raspberry Sun doesn’t know how to stop flowering. The only drawback of this plant is the copious amounts of nectar that it drips. I usually have to either cut the flowers off or clip a cup underneath the flower cluster to catch all of the drips.

Truly Be Careful of What You Wish For
I remember how excited I was when I saw my first bud appear on Hoya stenophylla, and prayed it would make it to term. Now I would really be happy if it never flowered again as I am really over cleaning up the flowers that fall off every day.
Final Day with Hoya yvesrocheri
Hoya yvesrocheri is a plant that not that many people have had a chance to flower. It is somewhat challenging to cultivate, but for collectors it is worth the effort. I love the long narrow leaves and one inch pink flowers, and if you stick with it long enough, it can make a lovely specimen plant. It is probably near extinction in its native habitat so if we can keep it around as hobbyists, I think that it is a noble goal.

I’m sure most of you are happy that I’ve finally run out of Hoya-yvesrocheri comparison shots!
Hoya-yvesrocheri Meets Hoya mirabilis
Another one that was flowering alone with Hoya-yvesrocheri so I’m taking advantage of it!
Hoya-yvesrocheri Meets Hoya oblongicutifolia
I think that these two look great together! Hoya oblongicutifolia does not have showy leaves, but I absolutely love the flowers on this plant. That is why it still is in my collection, when so many others have passed through.
Hoya-yvesrocheri and Hoya cupula
Here is Hoya cupula before I have to restart it, because of a desperate need to up-pot it. I think that I want to try it as a hanging basket the next time I try it.
Hoya-yvesrocheri Meets Hoya pubicorolla
Hoya-yvesrocheri meets the former Hoya pubicalyx ‘Pink Dragon’.
Hoya-yvesrocheri Meets Hoya linearis
Both flowering at the same time, so what the heck.
Hoya-yvesrocheri Meets Hoya darwinii
These flowers seem to have little in common other than they are both pink!
