Wow Rita ... which Hoya is that one? It's huge and so many blooms! I feel lucky if I get one or two blooms on my plants. I lost a lot of Hoya's in last years frigid winter, a couple of really large ones (Hoya cv. Iris Marie and Hoya imperialis) that I soo hoped to see blooms on, but I guess mother nature had other ideas. I've traded cuttings with SunshineSW/Jan a couple of times but I didn't do very well with them, the only one that has survived is H. Macgillivrayii (? not sure of spelling) ... and it rooted so hopefully it will grow up and grace me with a bloom some day!

Love the Aristolochia ... my next door neighbor has one in her backyard that I've been taking pictures of the past week:
