This cinnamomifolia is a flowering fool, it's been blooming for months.
October Flowers
Wow! Now that is one pretty bloom!
Great bloom Jan!
Doug
Lin, Doug, thanks!
Hey Jan, that is gorgeous. I wonder how long before mine that you sent will bloom?
Dee
Dee, thanks! it'll be awhile for your cutting to flower.
When I arrived back home from my travels yesterday Hoya walliniana was in bloom, although only one umbel. Overnight we had some light rain and this morning all the flowers were gone. H pubicalyx is still flowering. H "Kapit Borneo" and H golamcoiana have a line-up of new umbels that should start opening up soon.
Sunshinesw, I thought that was a Birthday Cake. It is beautiful.
Tropicbreeze, I like yours too.
Hoya's have very pretty blooms.
Here is H. davidcummingii
And H. obscura
Tropic: That walliniana bloom looks like candy!
Suzmyers: Cute blooms on davidcummingii and I adore obscura ... the gorgeous foliage as well as that bloom. I can't wait for my little obscura to grow up and bloom.
I found one bloom on compacta this morning ...
Gorgeous flowers. I especially love davidcummingii with its different colours and walleniana is just so sweet. Heck all of them are beautiful, and the only one of them that I've had bloom for me is compacta.
But! I was watering the other day and smelled butterscotch; these little darllings were hiding under a leaf - H. heuscheliana yellow. Its first flowers since girlfriends went crazy on it last summer.
Christine
O.K> Can't stand it! where do you get some of these gorgeous hoyas.
I have one in a seashell, got at Lowes. and One Sweetheart that one of my plant friends here
sent me. Sunshinesw Birthday cake cinnamomifolia is a Beauty. But the butterscoth sounds heavenly.
I still have a ton to learn about them too. My seashell gets watered once a week and the little thing has
bloomed several times. So I must be doing something right. Got any tips on the soil?
Ridesredmule....there are lots of threads about soil...and folks with different growing conditions have various different mixes. It is a huge subject and there is lots written about it....
The soil should be chunky and airy. Fir bark (sold as orchid bark), perlite, and cactus potting mix are in my mix - I'm leaning towards more perlite in the mix lately. Where you get them is another story. If you go to the hoyas forum page (where you found this thread) there'll be a link to vendors. So do we have another addict in waiting here??
Christine
thank you, I'll do that. Those plants are so pretty.
Suz, Love that DC.
Rrm, welcome to the Hoya addiction. Glad you like the cinnamomifolia b day cake.
Looking for correct name. This is EA plant that was labeled "Bilobata" which I know is not, but which one is it.
Thanks,
Dee
And another view
H. nummularioides
the scent on this one fills a room, was almost to strong for me last night. This one is loaded buds and blooms
Dee
My most beautiful flower of all
Dee
Dee, first one looks like DS-70.
Your flower in pink is really pretty, is she your daughter?
Jan
Thanks Jan, she is my gd - 4 years old. Thanks for asking if she is my daughter but I am way to old for little ones, my baby is 31.
Dee
Wow...such colorful blooms on this thread so far. I really really love that H. cinnamomifolia, Jan. I am (im)patientenly waiting for mine to bloom!
Australis ssp. tenuipes has bloomed for the first time for me...what an amazing smell! It's in my office window and has 2 umbels.
And another view...
H. obscura has been blooming non-stop all Spring/Summer. I love the color of the leaves and the blooms when I keep it outside for the season!
Dee, I thought you were just a young lady. we are ols as we feel, I fell great so I must be a young grandma. LOL
Thanks Gabi, I love the smell of australis tenuips. I hope your cinnamomifolia flowers for you soon. Here is the plant.

Wow! Gorgeous plant!! I have a LOOOOOONG way to go before I see flowers. I've had my plant for around 4 years, and it has grown a leaf or two!
Gabi
Wow Jan, how long have you had your cinnamomifolia?
Dee
that is a beautiful plant. I think I am on the verge of Loving another plant.
What, Oh, what is my poor husband going to do??
Thanks for another addiction.
The Little girl is precious.
Thanks Gabi, Dee, I think mine is about 5 years old. It's in a 10" clay pot, I keep it pretty dry but not completely and then water heavy until comes out of the bottom. I shower the plant every now and then too.
Christine, thanks! I have this plant outside year around under roof in screened lanai accept when the temp goes down under 40 degrees or during a hurricane warning.
Thanks Ride, it is so easy to get hooked on these hoyas. You get 1 then another one, and another..... you get the picture.
Thanks ride, her name is Gabby (Gabriella).

H. cv. 'Sunrise'
The fragrance on this one is WONDERFUL and clean and continuous.
I have it hanging with H. lacunosa 'Ruby Sue'...both constant bloomers and it is heaven.
H. pubicalyx NOID
I know it is NOT 'Royal Hawaiian Purple' because the foliage is sorta curled and smaller...any ideas...the tag faded :0(
Let me show you the ONE I have.
That is how I got her and there she lives.
She has bloomed several times.
No problems whatsoever.
Isn't it cute? She has bloomed, but that was before I got on
here or I would have had a picture. I love taking pictures of them
(my plants). I will have to fix her a little tag to hang with her.
Thank you for giving her a name.
Thank you, she seems happy in her seashell, they have holes drilled
in there, when I remember to water, it runs right out, down on another
plant in the window. She is in an Eastern window.
Joni... If the foliage is similar to RHP but smaller leaves and slightly smaller flowers, it is probably Red Buttons. The two of them are SO similar but RB is smaller.
Here it is hanging in her window,
above a ponytail plant. Does it help?
