Just wondering if Imadigger (Eileen) is okay. I just heard on the news that there are fast moving wild fires in Palm Bay, Florida where she lives. Last year dozens of homes were lost to fires in her city.
Eileen, hope all is well at your place ... hoping you can pop in here shortly. Sending thoughts and prayers your way!

I hope that too, Lin! I just posted a box in Ima's
direction and it was loaded with plants.
My H. davidcummingii in bloom - smells like buttery popcorn !
One of my favorite flowers so far....
Hey...one of my faves....H. compacta....
Eileen posted on another forum that she received the box from Alison and it's now in route to me....so hopefully that means all is well! She didn't mention anything other than hoyas in her message though.
Kelly
I pretty much got away from hoyas for awhile...as a result some of mine died and the rest look pretty neglected.
At the moment all I have blooming is my kerrii..it and my obovata are my old faithfuls...lol...
Beautiful blooms everyone.
My H. pachyclada, the bottom leaves look a little dehydrated, hopefully it's nothing serious.
And my H. serpens that I love but the aroma gets overwhelming at night.

OMG Lourdes, how do you get your H. serpens to grow and bloom like that? Especially in Texas, because I hear they like it cool??? Where is it growing and under what conditions...it's awesome :-)
Shelley
WOW Lourdes...that Serpens is incredible!!!!! How DO you grow it???? Inquiring serpens murderers want to know!
Lourdes,
Wow! I thought I had a great serpens, but yours puts mine to shame.

Paula: I love the colors of that davidcummingii bloom! Really pretty.
2manyplants: Wow, that is gorgeous! I have H. kerrii but no blooms for me yet, now I can't wait!
Lourdes: Wowsers! I agree with everyone, that serpens is Amazing! I'm among the serpens killers ... had a small one but it didn't last long.
My compacta has more blooms open today. I have a question about H. compacta and krinkle 8. I have both. I got the H. compacta about 1 1/2 years ago and all the leaves were real twisted as compacta usually is. Now all of a sudden it seems like a lot of the stems have leaves that aren't twisted so much, more like krinkle 8. Is that normal? I know some types of plants revert back to the "mom" plant as they age. I get so confused with these things ... I see in PF that compacta is also known as krinkle kurl, hindu rope, indian rope etc. I think I will just continue to call this one H. compacta (unless someone ID's it differently. I was getting mixed up with Krinkle Kurl and Krinkle 8.
... it hurts my brain with all these different names, LOL.
(red face here) Thank you all, I got it as a present and was already big. I've had it for about three to four months, it keeps growing fast and has put out tons of umbels. I have on a window facing east and when the a/c kicks in, the plant gets the cold air, I also have a fan facing it, since this room gets hot because of the computers. I water it once a week but I spray it every other day twice with water, and once with MSU half strength.
Thank you very much, I'm glad you liked it.
Well, you're clearly doing something right since in 3-4 months it could easily have started to fall apart and go downhill, but instead it's thriving and putting out more umbels...good for you!
Also, I really wish I had friends who gave me gifts like that :-)
Shelley
Thank you Shelley, you are right I killed a couple of small H. serpens before in no time.
I'm very thankful to my fiend for his present.
Lourdes =)
I have a bunch blooming but haven't had a lot of time to take any new photos. I did get this shot today of my Imperialis, which opened a day or so ago.
Very nice! I'm still waiting for my imperialis to grace me with some blooms! The plant is growing, and is a decent size, but no sign of any bloom spurs.
They are beautiful!!!!
We are in the same boat Lin, mine is growing nicely, but nothing yet either.
Thanks! I think its my fave so far out of all my Hoyas...that and Macgillrayvii
Beautiful flowers!! that serpen is something. I kill mine, I have few pieces I mounted a week ago.
David cummingii is beautiful!!! is another one I kill.
H aff latifolia (IML 1410)
This one does not fully open all flowers on the same peduncle at the same time...urrrr.
Pretty though!
Hoya cinnamomifolia
Great green color and the blooms last about 6 days!
Hoya lamingtoniae
Gorgeous color and the white outlines each flower.
H. heuschkeliana (pink and yellow)
Love these little constant bloomers...pink is on top!
H. aff. fischeriana
Very unusual gold blooms...fragrant too!
Gorgeous pics and blooms Joni !
H. aff fischeriana reminds me of H. pentaphlebia - do the leaves look similar also ?
Paula,
Here is the H. aff. fischeriana leaf...
and H. pentaphlebia...
very different kind of leaves...but now I know what the blooms will look like on this one!
SRQ....the arnottiana bloom lasted over a week but the smell is a very mild clover scent. Love your hoya hoya fisheriana foto!!
Ric
We're enjoying a great spring, so many hoyas are blooming right now... and more to come!
Here's one umbel on my carnosa.

And what about a cute little peduncle on one of my pottsii...? It's actually growing out from old growth, AND there are 2 more on the plant (which hasn't bloomed in 7 years!).
And here's sweet obovata... with more flowers on the way.
A verticillata starting to open up... smells like Stimorol chewing gum!
hoya obovata at night
H. pubicalyx 'Red button'
H. sp. Chicken Farm... don't know if this one has gotten any new name yet.
A first timer for me: Hoya sp. IPPS 7203 (aff. vitellina). Smells like newly cut grass starting to dry... or something like that!
