Hoya obscura flower photographed by Christina. Lovely cream colored blooms! H. obscura has been known to bloom different flower colors on the same plant, the color depending on the varying degree of light.

Edited to add more information!

Not only is the color of the flower of interest in this photo, but also note the number of rings on the rachis.
For the newbie’s: The rachis is the plant part between the peduncle and the pedicels of the flower. Each ring on the rachis represents a new bloom formed from the same peduncle.
So obviously the peduncles of H. obscura are persistent.
