This is a very fragrant species that is now classified as Hoya verticillata. It is dripping some nectar that I will have to wipe up.

Here is a plant that I thought that I would never flower, and now it blooms regularly just sitting on a windowsill in the regular house is ambient conditions. Sometimes a plant just has to get old enough to want to flower.

This is the finest Hoya acicularis that I have ever grown. Growing it in coconut husk makes such a difference!

This is the nicest Hoya insularis plant that I have ever grown. It is grown completely in coconut husk chips and watered weekly.

I finally figured out that Hoya sp. IM-08 (Hopefully soon to receive a real name) needs a shortening photo period to bloom profusely. I had never been able to get more than a couple of flowers at one time, but after cutting back its day length, I now have over a hundred buds. More photos to come in the future. Here is a couple of quick shots with the phone:

I moved this large plant into the grow tent to give it a change from stagnating on the windowsill and it immediately budded up and flowered.

I only restarted this plant last fall and look at how nice it looks already. The smell from the flowers is hard to bear, but hey, you can’t have everything!

I don’t think that I have featured these two flowers together before; so here you go: Hoya darwinii and Hoya obtusifolia.

Never give up on a plant that you have had difficulties with. I could barely keep this one alive for years and now it just won’t stop amazing me. Here is a photo from this morning:

Wrong time of the year Thomsonii! Anyone who has grown Hoya thomsonii knows that it is a fall bloomer, but using timers and grow lights the shortening days of fall can easily be duplicated. Below the April Buds of Hoya aff. thomsonii:
