Hoya carnosa is very easy to grow. Much easier than Jasmines. I’m surprised you can’t buy it. It’s very easy to grow from cuttings if you know someone with a plant.

For the best sweetest smelling Hoya blooms, Lacanosa's are amongst the best in that category, hands down, one single open bloom can fill an entire room with its haunting aroma.

The Hoya pubicalyx varieties are quite musky, however when my Red Buttons bloomed some time ago, to my nose, it smelled like a Tootsie Roll Pop. I second Hoya lacunosa and all varieties of it. Hoya ilagiorum has a strong lemon fragrance, reportedly. Hoya australis has a very strong perfumed scent, too. Hoya fungii has a nice, pleasant floral scent. Kinda have to stick your nose in the flowers to get it, but it's there. Hoya obovata can smell like roses or Froot Loops cereal, depending on whom you ask lol.

Brad, hi buddy!! Been crazy sick here but getting better. Hope you are up and cheery these days)

Carolynn, wow, what a beauty you have there. It must make you very happy to whiff that at night). Is it a small tidy plant? I can't stand the ones that get too huge for a room. I will order it of it blooms on a smaller plant. Can you snap a shot of the whole thing? Thank you

Try a hand at a lemon tree or some kind of citrus if you have a sunny window.

You could also try fragrant orchids which don't require direct sunlight and can be kept on the smaller side of things. Some are very easy to grow.

Also too, fragrant geraniums if you have a sunny window sill.

Carolyn, your Hoya nummularioides looks gorgeous. It looks to be very floriferous as well.

Ladylotus, I bought one. Because of her.lol Took me a half hour of searching the web to find it too.

I am using my daughter's room for some of my plants because she is away at college and has west facing windows. When she came home last weekend, nummularioides was in full bloom. The smell was so overpowering that she wasn't too happy! Mike, here is a picture of the whole plant. I, too, like the smaller plants due to space issues. One of my favorites is my sweet little serpens, but I have not gotten it to bloom yet. It is still pretty small.

Mike, where did you buy yours from?

Carolyn, how would you describe the scent from nummularioides? I am intrigued.

Mike you are hilarious. I don't think anyone needs to twist your arm too much to talk you into getting a plant. he he. Glad you found one. I would love to know where you got your nummularioides from also.

Ladylotus, lol .

Here, for both you and Rekha and whom ever else would like to be enabled..)) Right there on the main page under M))

I got the one in the picture from Gardinos. I somehow managed to end up with a second small one. I'm not sure where it came from. I usually write where I got it from and the date, but somehow I forgot to do that on my small one. If it wasn't snowing here, I'd make a trade for the smaller one.

As for the smell, hmmmm, very strong. I can't describe it. I have migraines, so I am overpowered by strong smells. They remind me of lilies because I hate the smell of lilies. I love the delicate flowers of the nummularioides, so I keep it and visit for short times when it is in bloom.

Carol. I tried Gardino’s per your earlier post and they had no more. Not even the name came up Ugh.

But I’ll trade for something if you’d like let me know. I have a lot of stuff.

Mike.
