Hoya icensis is not a very good growing Hoya for me, and I’m pretty much determined to get rid of the plant, but before I do, I will make the most of its latest set of flowers with a series of comparison photos.

A few days ago I brought you the most impressive flowers in the Acanthostemma Hoya Section with species MT-02. Now I bring you what could be called the least impressive flowers in that section, but after nine long years, I will take them and be very happy about it!

I bought this plant as a cutting from Aleya Garden in Thailand in 2012, flowered it once in 2014, never to flower again until now. Below the entire plant in the summer greenhouse and set of buds; tomorrow the flowers.

This is only the second time that I have flowered this under appreciated Hoya species. It seems to be loving the summer greenhouse!

There is such a wide variety of colors in all of the Finlaysonii Type Hoya flowers. I recently saw a comparison of all the different flower colors within this group, and it was really mind-blowing.

The title says it all on this very easy to care for Hoya!

Here are the not yet fully reflexed corollas on Hoya sp. MT-02. They are almost black and my candidate for the most impressive of all flowers in the Acanthostemma Section of Hoyas.

Here are two favorites of mine both blooming next to each other in the shaded, outdoor, greenhouse. Hoya sp. EPC-209 on the left and Hoya vitellinoides on the right:

I can’t say that Hoya Annakey is the most exciting Hoya Hybrid in the world, but if you are looking for something new to try, and one of these presents itself, it could be worth picking up. The foliage is quite pleasing and it is a quick bloomer.

Here are a couple of close-up photos of the blooms of Hoya Annakey:
