Hoya lacunosa var. pallidiflora, has proven to be a particularly good variety. Started from a cutting less about 9 months ago, it is now blooming regularly. The fragrance is truly heavenly--sort of a sweet and spicy gardenia.

My biggest personal Hoya blooming event is just a day or two away from it's peak. My Hoya australis var. tenuipes is approaching about 400 to 500 blooms open at the same time. There are about 250 to 300 open as I write this. I fear I'll have to move it out of the bedroom at night as the fragrance may just be too much of a good thing. Hope to post a few pictures in a couple of days.
