I LOVE Hoyas! I have H. heushkeliana and it bloomed once. Smelled wonderful! Just like buttered popcorn. The peduncles fell off, but it formed two new ones. They haven't bloomed yet, but they will, especially since I recently put it outside. I have H. macgillivrayi and H. nummularoides that I don't think will ever bloom. LOL I bought H. caudata last year and just knew I'd killed it over the winter, but I put it outside anyway, just in case it might live. It put out a new vine and two new leaves! Woohoo! LOL

Here's one of my H. carnosas just opening the buds. Smells like fresh cut sweet hay to me. Everyone seems bored with the carnosas, but they're still some of my favorites. So reliable, pretty, and yummy-smelling!
