Clemen, this is what a hoya's spur looks like. See the protrusion along the stem? That is where flower being formed, when the flowers or florets (tiny individual flowers fade) fade and drop, new flowers will be forming at the same spur, that's why we don't trim those spurs off. In many way, plumeria inflorescent behaves similiarly, faded flowers drop, new ones will take their places, thus experienced growers caustion to avoid trimming them off.

Love those QOTN blooms. :-)
