I was pretty surprised when my miserable Hoya inflata plant with only 4 leaves budded up and flowered. I can’t figure out how to grow this one as I have now struggled with it for years.

If I get lucky enough to flower this one, I will be ecstatic as there have been very few flowerings of this plant in cultivation.

It won’t be long now before I can add another first-time-bloomer to my check list. I predict that these will open very soon, and I will talk extensively about this species in the coming days.

It looks like the Hoya paulshirleyi seedling will flower a lot as I am already on my 3rd set of blooms on this one.

Here are my first comparison photos of these species together – I think, but after 3,700 daily posts here, it is hard to be sure!

Hoya pachyclada has flowered for me for the first time in quite awhile. I came close to losing this plant after having a very respectable specimen at one time. The moral of the story is to never take your plants for granted as they can go downhill in a hurry if you brag on them too much!

I really like this photo showing all of the flowers together. This is not photoshopped in any way, what you see is me scrunching all of these plants together so that I can take this photo, and it is not easy let me tell you!

I think that these two liked hanging out together!

I still can’t grow this PES-03 Aff. Bella very well, but it flowered for me once again and here it is with a second flowering of Hoya ilagiorum.

Both of these plants are blooming right now.
