Alison, I love the carnosa's too, Krimson Princess is my favorite because it was my very first Hoya and came from a dear elderly friend back in the mid 1970's. No fragrance, but still pretty in it's own way.

Joni: Your schneei is dainty and so pretty. I love them even more when they have a nice fragrance.

Barb: Those linearis blooms are gorgeous. I wish I could have kept my linearis alive long enough to see blooms but it just didn't like me!

Carol: I would love to see a picture of the leaves on that chuniana! I love the ones with fat leaves and I like the looks of the darker leaf edging I see there, with that pretty flower.
What can I say about your RHP? That is soooo pretty! I can't wait to get peduncles and blooms on my RHP. Love, Love, Love the color of that bloom!

Carol, almost forgot ... were you referring to my photo here http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/p.php?pid=6490857 as H. linearis in the background? If it was the plant in my picture, nope, that's not a Hoya either but another one of those EA plants, labeled Rhipsalis, but the tag is gone and I don't remember which one. Of course with being an EA plant, it was probably mislabeled anyway and for all I know may not even actually be a Rhipsalis! I just bought it because I liked the growth habit.

Here's a closer picture of the Rhipsalis that was hanging next to the hoya compacta in my earlier post.

Joni: Your photo's are always so Awesome with the pool in the background! The blue water really makes a great backing for foliage and blooms. I have tried and tried but still can't get the hang of picture taking, pool or not! I might ask my DH to put a hook out farther over the water and see if I could get some decent pictures with the water as background.
