LOL, I am not a Hoya expert by any means and am still learning about these lovely plants! I have a very large Krimson Princess that I got as a little plant from some dear elderly friends back in 1976, and I never knew there were so many different varieties until I joined DG! I have learned that some have really awesome looking foliage, and many are fragrant!! My Hoyas are the more common ones found at Home Depot and Lowes but I've also bought a couple of cuttings in a co-op this year and received some nice ones in trades. I think I recognize Nichole's new babies because I have all of them except the variegated Hindu Rope. I've heard many folks say the carnosa's are fragrant but my KP, KQ and Hindu Rope have no scent that I can detect.

This is my big Hindu Rope Hoya that I got from KimsKreations when she decided to give up her Hoyas. Some Hoyas get so big, they do take up a lot of space!
