Sorry the photo is so blurry....there is another bloom starting so I will get Bob to get another picture...I thought this needed it's own stage...isn't she beautiful, even blurry!!! H. flagellata
I didn't kill it yet!!!
Simply stunning! Another one to add to the wish list....

Way cool.
WOW - what a neat flower!
I got mine from Ted Green. For me it's a very slow growing hoya, but well worth the wait for flowas.

Awanda
I find it grows best if you insult it daily, NEVER water nor feed it and generally ignore it. It IS a slow grower!!!!
It sure has nice flowers!
Christina
Really amazing- it hardly looks like a Hoya, now that the flowers are open. Any scent?
OH !!! She is beauty....Good going----Another for the want list !!!
Awanda , Has yours put on her pretty flowers yet ?? Be sure and post them when she does...
Oh, wow. Simply STUNNING!!
Ann
Oh man....another to add to my list too. That flower is amazing. How big is it? I know sometimes picutes can make tiny little flowers seem like giant ones.
Oh,,and does it smell good or what?
Congrats!
Marcy
Sandy as slow as mine is growing, it'll be awhile before I see flowas, unless I glue them on:-).
Blessings,
Awanda
Awanda - I'd be happy to watch yours grow for you if you want to send it to Illinois.....!
Wow that is really pretty.
The whole umbel is about the size of a quarter...tiny....and I can't detect a fragrance at all.
Awanda -after the Arizona winter sun it will do its thing..............
Carol- You know what will be the next one on everyones list.....
Karen does "It ain't gonna happen" ring any bells with you:-).
Blessings,
Awanda
The tag on my H. flagellata has " MINE MINE MINE" all over it in RED. This plant has been such a challenge for me...and it's success such a gold star on my personal chart...I ain't cutting it fer nuttin!!! I know DL and Ted Green sell it.... :(
Awanda - well, it has a nice beat, but you can't dance (hoya happy) to it!! Karen
Hello everyone my name is Roy , I'm a very new Hoya collector, I live in Brisbane, Australia and all my Hoyas are outdoors. This is my Hoya pachyclada which will be my second Hoya to flower when the buds finally open. I'm happy to observe and learn as much as I can. and perhaps ask the occasional question.

"insult it daily"
Well...it WAS too good to last. Not enough insults and/or 1 drop too much water!!! Went to check on the roots and they weren't there!!! "starting all over again...." music playing in the BG!!!!
Good grief...you mean that beautiful bloom was on a plant with no ROOTS? Wonder how it did that.
Marcy
Well....I find that hoyas (maybe all plants?) bloom in a cycle because it is 'natures time' to set seed. THEN...when they are stressed and/or on their way 'out' they can also flower as a last ditch effort to procreate. GREAT survival instincts!!!
