On checking out the Hoya of the month sticky thread, I am completely not suprised to find that people have selected the more common in cultivation Hoyas as subjects- for a very good reason: they are the best and most rewarding of the Hoya tribe to grow! Lacunosa, macgillivrayi, obscura, australis- these are among the most gratifying of the Hoyas in cultivation, and not at all coincidentally, they have the best fragrances. Perhaps someone will choose verticillata soon- this for me has the primordial Hoya smell. All the others have this as a base-note in their perfume. With the addition of cherry, chocolate, carnation, or gardenia you get australis, carnosa, lacunosa, or macgillivrayi.
