Beautiful blooms!

Your plant, leaves and blooms, looks exactly like my Hoya diptera. Are these plants the same plant with different names? Is there any difference between the two?

Beautiful blooms! I love that off-white on off-white look.

Pug,

I really like the flowers of van, too. I have two of them (thought I had a van and a diptera, but so far, I've only gotten solid yellow flowers...) It's also a nice grower, the leaves are pretty and shiny, and I like it's growth habit. It's not a stunner like some of them, but it's a pretty little plant. Congrats on your first flowers!

Excellent, Nancy!
This is probably my favorite Hoya, even though it's an absolute aphid magnet in my house.
I finally got mine outside to be trimmed and hosed off after the winter indoors. It has
but one lowly bud, but I'll post a pic as soon as it opens!

Lightning, Hoya diptera and H. van. are closely related, with H. van. being the specimen
from the island of Vanuatu. If I recall correctly, the difference is subtle in the color
of the bloom. I think H. diptera might have more color to the corona.

Aw Pug, those are just the cutest buds. If Hoyas are wax plants, then those are wax buds that got soft in the sun. I want to touch them so badly, to see if my finger leaves an imprint.

I totally agree that these are lovable Hoyas. There's something about them, where I can't help giving an approving nod, whenever they cross my path. They just always look good, you know what I mean?

Oh, how pretty!! The flowers are so pretty. I had H. diptera and may still have it. A few of my hoya lost their tags, and now I have to wait until they bloom to see who's who. LOL

Thanks everyone!

Denise, I'm suppose to have one of each also...visually my diptera and vanu. looks almost identical at least to me,lol...I certainly can't tell the difference by the leaves, so it will be interesting to see if the blooms differ from each other.

K&C I'm partial to the yellow blooms...it reminds me of butter.

Lightning, I think Josh explained it much better than I ever could. Especially since they look the same to me,lol

Thanks Josh...I'm looking forward to your pictures.

GG, lol...it really does look like yellow was doesn't it? I love your description as always! They have been pretty carefree and low maintenance hoya for me.

Ima, hopefully yours will bloom soon.
