My australis are blooming now too. (Nice to have some fall bloomers to cheer us up as the days grow short. )
I have several kinds, but never have been able to tell which is which. I have one with smooth leaves that are fairly dark green except where the sun hits (those are redish). It is just covered with blooms and hangs out front on my palm tree. I was up on a rock the other day trying to smell them (the top ones bloomed first naturally), and my neighbor was just staring at me. Ha. Must think I am a nut case.
Will put a picture in here. don't be alarmed by the red flowers in with it...I often stick a geranium in with the outside hoyas.
