Those are fragrant especially at night. And the nectar is sweet; As a child, I used to pluck each flower and sip the nectar and my grandmother gave me a cutting when I went off to college and grew it on the window sill; strange but mine only blooms in winter...

I have 3 hoya, variegated carnosa, kerrii, and a 3rd....no tag, but could be an angusifolia or kentiana. Only kerrii has flowered so far.
Your baby is beautiful!!!

Those are so cool looking! Renee gifted me 2 nice divisions of her hoyas plus a couple cuttings from others. The carnosa just finished blooming and one of the small cuttings is producing a very small cluster. I really like this one, the minty color and fuzziness is really cool!

I just LOVE looking at these through the camera lens! Many of the blooms are "cute" and have a wonderful fragrance, but you cannot fully appreciate their wonder until you look at them magnified. I think I have a single serpens blooming now too that I have not yet photographed - now I'm going to have to do that shortly!

Very fragrant, I can smell it coming down the steps to the basement. I grow these in the basement under lights.

That is gorgeous. It doesn't even look real. Hoyas are so pretty. If I had the room, I would branch. <--That's DH. lol
