In the hundreds of Hoya patella flowers that I have had over the past 15+ years, I have never had one show this color before:

The fastest I had ever flowered imperialis from cuttings in the past was in 12-14 months; this one flowered in nine. An all time record for me, and one that I am very unlikely to best. Here are the opened flowers from this morning:

I chopped up and restarted my H. imperialis Rauschii at the end of May last year. I kept two cuttings and it looks like one of them will flower very soon.

I started my large H. danumensis plant over last summer, and here are the first flowers on a much reduced plant:

I started Hoya versteegii over from cuttings about a year and a half ago. These are the first flowers of its reincarnation. It is one of the Hoyas that I talk about that can literally flower itself to death once it gets going.

Hoya calycina ‘Stargazer’ decided to put on yet another show, budding up right after the last set of flowers fell off. I personally don’t believe this to be good for the plant and could be the reason that the plant seems to go downhill after repeated flowerings.

I’m trying to capture this one in its best light, because it will not be long before I am forced to chop it up as it is really becoming to difficult to handle at its current size.

Finally got all of the blooms to open on what has to be one of my most outstanding specimens. Tomorrow I will show the entire plant.

I know that I keep posting photos of these flowers, but the plant is completely covered in these amazing blooms so I just can’t ignore them.

The longer I keep this Hoya the more that I like it!
