Nice closeups of the flowers, Jan! The flowers are so petite and pretty, though I've never been able to detect any fragrance on mine. How about you?

My biggest EA DS-70 dehydrated somewhat early last spring and I thought that awful EA soil had finally done it in. But I decided to water it more often and see if I could bring it back, and it's doing fine now. The leaves fattened back up and it looks great, even putting on some new growth. But in the process, it lost a lot of it's old peduncles - I only find a few now. No signs of budding up, but I figure once it's truly happy again, it will bloom up a storm.

Thanks! It smells kind of like butter, I hope yours recover and flowers like crazy for you.

Nice blooms, Jan! I got cuttings of these from Ladygreensleeves and they're still rooting at the moment. The only penduncle that had buds blasted. I think it was my fault though, because I moved the cuttings around trying to find the right space for them.

Mine are blooming too! I can't detect anything during the day, but if I smell them late in the evening with my nose nearly touching them I can. Butter, huh Jan? I'll have try tonight to see if it smells like butter to me. I could never put my finger on it...

Very pretty Jan and Tish!!

Nice photos! This is one I seem to have trouble photographing because you almost need to get under the plant for a good angle.
Every since my plant grew from a cutting (one of my first ever Hoyas) to a blooming plant I have been after more and more of it's Acanthostemma section relatives. The flowers are small but there are often so many on large plants that they are just as impressive as other Hoyas. There is something about these smaller leaved Hoyas that I really like.

They sure were hard to photograph Mike. The bottom of the pots of my hanging hoyas are just an inch or so above my head, but the vines hang further down and I literally had to bend backwards to take the pictures. Trust me, there were many taken with only a handful worthy of keeping. These are my first ever hoya flowers (Lacunosa has about five peduncles)!!!

Thanks Pug!!!

Nice picturs ladies, I wish I could get mine to bloom. It's my second hoya, I've had it for almost 2 years and still no sign of anything. . . other than gobs of new growth. . .

Thanks for sharing. . . (nice to see you again Tish. . . it's been awhile)

Maid~

Hi Maid! Yes, I've been out of the loop, had surgery on my shoulder. Still have a long road ahead of me. What an ordeal!!! Thanks for noticing, makes me feel good :)

Tish

Thanks everyone.
Tish, wishing you a speedy recovery.

Jan

Tish, we noticed!! Like Jan said...hope for a speedy recovery!
Take it easy and go slow...no heavy lifting when you're watering those Hoyas :o)

Thanks Jan and Pug!!! Funny thing Pug is that my husband took care of our cats and dogs, so I only had to stress about my Hoyas. My SIL came up from Louisiana and helped for 10 days, but now they are solely reliant me. All of my sitting hoyas are in ceramic pots, so they are heavy. Most of the hanging Hoyas are in plastic, but are still heavy because they are big. It's tough, but someone has to tend to my "babies" :)

Tish, I hope you feel better soon! It's no fun when you're ill or recovering and you can't do a thing with your hoyas. At least it's the slow season and they're not doing too much (at least mine aren't).

Brad AKA Moonwolf

Thank you Moonwolf! It just warms my heart, like you guys wouldn't believe, that eveyone cares :) Sniffle, sniffle..

My Hoyas are actually growing like weeds! Have to make my way down the line wrapping the vines on each trellis making sure I end with the tips up. The hanging baskets just have to be checked for moisture. Other than that, you just sit back and watch them grow LITERALLY...

You guys are the best!!!

Tish

Jan, another cluster of flowers opened night before last on my DS-70 and both me and my husband concur with you--SMELLS LIKE BUTTER!!!

Tish, I am glad we all have same sense of smells. Mine are still flowering out side.
