A couple of years ago a dear friend who had lost most of her hoyas sent me a few of the remaining ones t o grow out and bloom for her. One was labeled H. poolei (Bob Smoley). Now, H. poolei is considered a syn. for H. anulata/H. pseudolitoralis so I knew the name wasn't correct...alas it bloomed last night and it is H. vitiensis. The corollas are the most magnificent mauve I have ever seen!!!! Can't find a fragrance....
