Hoya blooms

Hello eveybody! I'm not on this forum often (I don't grow very many hoyas), but I noticed my hanging-basket hoyas are blooming! There is one flower cluster blooming now, and several developing flower clusters. I'm not sure what variety these are, but I have three different ones growing in one basket. The largest one is roughly 7 feet long and the end of the vine drags on the floor. Now if I could only get my epiphyllum in the basket next to it to bloom! Anyway, I thought I'd share a couple of pictures with you all.

It's always so exciting to see our Hoyas bloom. Very pretty. I love all the Carnosa and Pubicalyx varieties.

I love this Deep Pink Carnosa

The one that is blooming looks to be Carnosa. Very pretty. Does it smell of chocolate? I cant' see the other hoyas clear enough to identify.

@ tlbean, I do remember last years' blooms having a spicy scent, but I haven't noticed any scent on this years'.

I'll take pictures of the three plants a bit later today. Perhaps you can ID them. One do know that one is variegated, another has large, heart shaped leaves, and then there's this one that is blooming.

Monica, I just adore your deep pink Carnosa. Mine seems to lean more on the lighter purple/pink side. Gorgeous either way :)

Pubicalyx x Carnosa cross kind of resembles Pub. Pink Dragon!
