Thanks, all. Im not a big hoya grower, just keep some for fun. Those from the carnosa/pubicalyx group grow like weeds, really at breakneck speed. Thankfully the fast-growing portions are almost always leafless, so they don't take up more room. I have seen some with large flowers like the one Leo posted. One was very dark red, almost black.

I love Hoyas! Here is my pubicalyx. I think it's variety Red Buttons but it might be Chimera. I forgot to check the tag.





And here is my Hoya fungii which just bloomed today:




Best Regards,

Obscura (or maybe hybrid):


Pubicalyx buds (the spikes go on and rebloom forever!):

Pretty! I like the flowers in the middle photo. I love hoyas; I'd have more if I had the room.

Wonderful Hoyas! I am a fan of the pubicalyx group. Unfortunately I lost quite a few a while back to virus. Acquired two very expensive divisions that turned lethal. I really hadn't expected that - I'm careful with the orchids, just didn't think in terms of Hoyas (had the same problem with succulents several years ago)....I'm getting tired of viruses!

Keep yours safe!

Love them, and their fragrance.

You have some nice Hoya. I really like carnosa, my plant is from cuttings of a plant that has been in the family for many years. I like the fragrance, keep it in my bedroom window so I can smell it at night in spring.

I have a few species, recently bloomed a Hoya patella, a big flower (2 inches or about 5 cm natural spread) on a modest vine, unfortunately it seems to only do one flower at a time for me. This is only the 3rd year this cutting has bloomed since I got it in 2007. The fragrance is not pleasant, almost a vinyl odor, fortunately it is not a strong fragrance.
