I’m lucky enough to have both of these flowering at the same time.

This plant has been close to death on many occasions, but here I am 5 years after I got the plant, and it not only lives, but flowers on two peduncles at the same time!

A couple more rarities in flower at the same time.

I have to make the most of these plants all blooming at the same time. Here is a Hoya darwinii flower sitting on top of a peduncle full of H. thomsonii flowers.

Here is yet another photo comparison this time between Hoya obtusifolia on the left and Hoya danumensis on the right.

Definitely a first for me to have both of these flowering at the same time. Here is a not fully reflexed H. darwinii on the left, and H. obtusifolia on the right.

This is probably the world’s first flower photo comparison of these two species.

I was lucky enough with shortening the day length hours to get Hoya obtusifolia to flower for me again this spring. Here is a photo of its bloom held up against H. carmelae.

I was beginning to think that this one would never flower for me again, but it finally did. I still am somewhat baffled about what conditions make H. carmelae bloom, but I guess a rare flowering makes it more special.

This is now the third time that Hoya desvoeuxensis has honored me with flowers and with an up and coming peduncle full of buds, there should soon be a fourth time!
