I hate to tell you, but fungii didn't have a strong scent at all. The flowers were definitely pretty though! The strongest scented hoyas I own are carnosa and pubicalyx and nummularioides. I also have a NOID that I believe is in the pottsii family, and that one is also very strong. Linearis is the one with the needle like leaves. I will see if I can find a picture of mine from it's first two years. I had problems with stem rot and now have it growing in a hydroponic pot, and it is much smaller.

Be patient with pubicalyx. I have "Pink Silver" and mine took ten years to bloom, though that was in a low light situation. Yours will bloom sooner with better light, and it is so worth the wait!! I never cared for Multiflora. I like the vining thick leaved hoyas, not the bush types.
