This Hoya is a real eye pleaser with 3 inch flowers on a plant about 18 inches high. The flowers are deep red and look the best when viewed--or photographed--back-lit.

That does look good, I like the deep red. Mine isn't as deep a red as that. Not sure how long the vines are on mine, it's up in the trees and I usually only know how far when it flowers.
tropicbreeze,
Good to hear from you as it has been sometime. My health has kept all my gardening to a minimum, but I think of you when I work with my Australian varieties. I'm just amazed that you have vines climbing up trees and even out of site. I have many fewer plants now, but when they perform I like to share with the community despite the fact that the community seems to be much smaller now than 5 years ago.
All the best,
Allan
This forum certainly has seen better days, before Carol marched them all off to that other site. I look in every now and again.
My set up years ago in the tree needs a lot of work. It was all suspended from a long low branch. Didn't realise that those big low branches eventually get shed by the tree. It'll soon be happening with mine. I have to put in a steel framework to support every thing before the branch gives way completely.
This is a photo of mine flowering previously. The camera tends to wash out colours a bit, but yours is still darker than mine.
Take care,
Zig
