Way to go Carol! "Inspector Subconciously Bribed by Lacunosa Fragrance"
Sunshine, I love the Jennifer so far. I had to trellis it; just no more space to
hang anything.

....and I passed!
Here is IML 0557
And H. pachyclada...to me the flowers look square!
H. affinis
this is H. obovata X H. carnosa....
Sunshine your subcalva is beautiful. Can't wait for mine to bloom. I read some where on the web that it has to be 8ft. long before it will bloom. I hope that isn't so. If it is, I have a few feet to go. Mine is only about 3ft, if I unwind it. LOL.
I'm waiting for lobbi, and a speckled obovata to bloom. The peduncles are taking a long time.
All four of my pubicalyx have peduncles. They all are supposed to be different, but the peduncles all look the same. I'll know for sure when they open, Soon I hope.
H. curtisii. Don't know why it came out so pink?
Carol, very pretty, all of them. I especially like the curtisii. The flowers are different from the others. It's really cute.
Did you ever get to look at comparing my leaves to yours on the phyllura?
Ima...I don't think there are standards such as length of vine for a plant to bloom....Mine are only about 3' and they have been blooming for a year. Hoyas get onry.
Here is an OT. I loved it. It is an African Tulip Tree bloom that has fallen on a ground orchid...
I can't find my H. benguetensis to compare...but you might try www.myhoyas.com Definitely not phyllura.

Carol, oh my gosh! that affinis is really red. I can't wait for my curtisii to bloom.
Oooh, I am Loving these blooms! I want a red blooming hoya!
Wow Carol, that African Tulip tree flower is gorgeous!
I have one! It's a Pubiclayx but I don't know the rest of the name.
one more
Not a bloom but my Red Buttons is getting ready to pop!
Pdoyle, I think Post #6431272 is fungii. Very pretty!
H kenejiana.
It very well could be sunshine, I don't have an "official" tag for that one. Smells nice too.
What a great sunny place you have to grow them, pdoyle! Love that fungii. Kenejiana is lovely with great leaves. Wish my curtisii would ever bloom! Affinis is to die for!
I just double checked my label and there is one on there that says Fungii, I guess I read the wrong tag. Anyway, I still love the blooms!
H. aff. fischeriana
fragrance of lilac I suppose
Hoya rigida (IML 1395)
huge bloom to fit the size of the leaves
VERY fragrant and long lasting!

oops here's H. rigida
H. samoensis
slight scent
i've been waiting foooooorever for these to open...first glimpse
H. aff. arnottiana
Yours bloomed before MINE!!! No fair!
Nice blooms!
Well...it's not open very far yet!
Is your's close behind mine?
Must have been the shot if chicken poop I put in the mix :0)
Hoya aff. arnottiana totally open now.
Bizarre fragrance and very white...wedding like in color.
Hoya rigida IML 1624
Both rigidas are gorgeous and smell delicious and bloom at the same time.
Love the greeny yellow on this one!
That rigida goes on the wishlist!!!
Eileen--I've had hoyas just sit forever and then suddenly spring into action. Mine seem to resent being cut back--who knows what motivates a hoya? I don't. I do know I tend to underwater them--they are prolly jealous of the violets! LOL
Boojum--My curtissi has never bloomed either--I've had it @ 4 years.
SRQ--those pool shots are great! Pretty flower too!
Pic is of Bella Lancelotta variegata--finally got a pic!

Really, hoyas seem to know when it's time to bloom and it appears I have absolutely no influence. As long as I keep them alive, I have hope. It's sort of a relief to not be responsible!
Great blooms, all!
Hoya cv Iris Marie
Here's my H. samoensis - seems to be a willing bloomer, as a rooted cutting with
more umbels on the way !
My son says it smells like pear, I agree - fermented pears ! Mostly smells at night tho.
Hoya kenejiana.
H lacunosa 'Langkawi Island'
scented as my other lacunosas
H. heuschkeliana
This one blooms constantly for me.
Joni, what kind of care do you give H. heuschkeliana? mine doesn;t want to grow let alone flower.
Hoya sp. Nong Nooch
Wonderful!
h. Vitellina
has a weird smell to me. I can smell bleach some.
h. Red Buttons - I do not know why mine comes out lighter than others. I kept in more sun over the winter to as Mr. Liddle suggested.
