ADog: Great growing with your H. compacta! I have a large one I bought from a former DG'er a year or so ago who was giving up a few that she didn't have room to over winter. I like the compacta but it is a mealy magnet down here in the heat and humidity! I always have my spray bottle of isopropyl alcohol handy out on the deck in case I spot those little buggers on that plant!

Dee: Very pretty odorata, I like the looks of those flowers. Maybe the fragrance will be stronger at it's next blooming? I was thinking one of mine (at least I think it was a hoya) didn't have much fragrance on it's first bloom but as it got older the fragrance was more pronounced.

I am so out of it with this cold I've been fighting ... I posted my wayettii bloom picture on the wrong thread earlier today! Anyway, I found two blooms on it ... probably the last for this particular Hoya until next summer.
