I just added a new time-lapse video of Hoya imperialis var rauschii to the movies page.  It can be accessed there or right here: http://www.youtube.com/user/MrDchamberlain072002?feature=mhum

These time-lapse videos are a lot of fun to make; I hope that you enjoy watching them as well.

Some people despair that their Hoyas will not bloom for them – some people can be a little impatient.  Most Hoyas bloom best after they get to be at least 2-3 years of age.  I know that it can take a long time, but what is it they say about the best things in life not coming easy.  Most of my blooming plants are from 2 – 8 years of age – that more than anything else is the reason that I get so many blooms.  There are some exceptions to this age rule, but they are far and few between.
