So....here is the umbel, opening. The flowers measure 2.5" open flat. Note how different they are from the flower of a year ago...they now have red under the corona...which makes me think of H. calycina...but, WOW...the flowers are SO much bigger than my H. calycina. I have send the photos off to David Liddle and to Ted Green...to see what they say.

OH, yes...the fragrance is soft and lovely!!! This is a very STRONG grower, and like H. calycina and H. imperialis, needs to be potted UP and UP and UP. I haven't tried trimming the roots but perhaps I should. This hoya is growing in a 12" shallow (5"deep) pot. I will need the Army Corps of Engineers to pot this one up.

Hej...Rosita/Christina/Maria...have you seen this one?
