Beautiful, Lin! They look great. Loads of blossoms too.

The first time I tried strep seeds, they all failed. I had nice healthy looking seedlings and was so happy with them. A couple hours later, I looked again and they had all dropped dead. Damp Off fungus did them in so fast. Since then, I have been successful and have blooming plants now from seed. So, this time you will be lucky, Lin.

Remember us talking about hoya DS-70? I found one but am not too keen on it...foliage or blossoms. Seems to bloom easily but the flowers have an irritating unpleasant smell. This is a case where the photo does it more justice than it deserves...I should say 'in my opinion'.
