I remember how excited I was the first time I managed to flower this plant. Now that I have flowered it many times, I am still happy to see these buds. These buds are on two different peduncles on the smooth-edged leaf clone, which I find to be much easier to cultivate than the wavy leafed clone.

I don’t know how evident it will be in this photo but Hoya sp. EPC-209 NRT 1 flowers are around twice the size of the blooms of Hoya sp. Bangkok Red.

These two Hoyas make a handsome couple!

I had never noticed it before, but Hoya sp. EPC-209 NRT 1 is one of those few Hoyas whose buds open in the daylight hours. I went into the tent in the morning, and the buds had not opened; went back in a couple hours later and they had sprung open. Here is a photo before the blooms have had a chance to reflex:

A few days ago I brought you the unusual double buds on single peduncles on Hoya patella. They have now opened.

I don’t think that I have had these two in the same photo before; so here they are:

Hoya apoda blooms look big until you compare it to Hoya imperialis!

Here is a photo of the entire plant with the white spots being sulfur residue:

Since it has been so long since I flowered this one, we will spend a couple more days with it.

The blooms of Hoya imperialis vary in size from flowering to flowering. These were particularly large with one flower coming in at around 3 1/4 inch in diameter.
