Hi All! I just joined Dave's Garden -- for two months -- but I think I'll have to update it to annually! lol.
Here's my Hoya -- Bella, I think. If anyone knows for sure, please let me know. There's three umbels; one blooming for about 5 days now.

I've had 4-5 hoyas for about 20 years and had to leave them in NJ when I moved to Canada. Heartbreaking! I got this hoya in a greenhouse nearby. There was a really large plant. I asked how much it was and the woman said it was her dad's. I gave her my sob story, and she gave me a pair of scissors and said "take a cutting". Lucky me!!! Since then I have purchased two cuttings each of Hoya carnosa rubra and variegata.

We're rearranging the living room this week..... I'm hoping to sneak in a few more hoyas. lol.
