Here is the mother plant of H. sp. Kunming Kina...more umbels to open....
Miss H. imperialis growing along the new road is sporting new blooms too...5 full umbels up this tree...here are two..
Awesome pictures, Carol. Especially enjoyed the sp Kunming Kina - as a I have little one that wants to grow up just like it's mama!!
How about some newly opened flowers of compacta 'Mauna Loa'...?
Christina
Let's add some caudata flowers (with two fours).
And sweet little cv. Mathilde opened up tonight AND has 7 more umbels with buds in various sizes.

Mssssss. Kitty...I love the color on your blossoms! Mine are so much more yellow.... isn't it amazing how the colors can differ on the same hoya.... truely amazing!
It is amazing, isn't it? Climate differences really do become more compelling when you see the blooms from the same plant differ so much in color - no matter what, the blooms on my plants are going to have less color than blooms on plants in Hawaii. I must admit ... I think your butter yellow is a bit prettier than my beige. What the heck ... that's what photoshop is for ... to put the color back in the blooms (tee heee).

Christina and Ann - BEAUTIFUL - both flowers and pics!
A new flower for me....sp. IML 1391. The scent is fabulous...can't connect it to anything...but it is sweet but not cloying!!
And a first bloom on a H. obscura I found locally...I have never seen one with such dark yellow in the flowers!
Glorious, Dear Carol!!! I especially love the IML 1391 blooms - so cool!!!
Ann
Oh I love the H. blashernaezii, such a delicate little thing. Does this one have a nice smell Ann? cv. Mathilde is such a little cuttie pie. Obscura is really pretty too, another bloom that eludes me...
Our first H. lacunosa bloom enjoying the early morning Brisbane sunshine.
Lovely photos, Roy...and that early spring morning sunshine in Brisey is GREAT - godzone!
No, Tami, the blashernaezii has no scent whatsoever (trust me ... I've stuck my nose in its blooms all hours of the day and night). But it sure is purdy!!
Roy ... What a beautiful bloom to wake up to!!
Ann
This morning my little nummolarioides started to open! The flowers are soooooo cute and the fragrance is sweet but not too strong, but then I only have half an umbel open - so far...
Christina
I finally decided what H. cembra smells like.... lilacs!!! My big plant is just COVERED with blooms at every node....there must be 50!!! and the fragrance is devine!
Oh how cute Christina, mine is really loaded up and getting ready to bloom. I can't wait as I love the smell of this one.
Roy your lacunosa is really really pretty.
Thats a beautiful nummularoides bloom Christina, it must look amazing when the whole plant is covered with flowers.
All are very nice. My Obscura blooms like crazy. I love it.
Tami
Adorable, Christina!!! Mine is blooming now as well. My bedrooms smells divine, but I suspect once several umbels open at the same time I'm gonna wanna throw it out the window.
