seed pod question

Chesapeake, VA(Zone 7b)

I found a few of my hoya's with seed pods on them. Do they have to cross pollenate to get the seed pods?
On H. Fungii

One more question: These are on my h. Obovata, are they going to be seed pods?

If so, then I have pods on my h. Red Buttons too

Hoyas can cross pollinate or self pollinate. Keep track of what was blooming at the same time...generally they are selfed but sometimes you get a cross. Lots of people grow them out and then trade them. This really isn't fair unless you know the cross and unless you explain it. That is how so many H. pubicalyxes have gotten diluted (as well as other popular species).

Found one on my h. Arnottia - I think I'll try to keep this one.

I think this is a seed pod beginning on h. Red Buttons - If so, I'm going to try this one too
