Some blooming house plants
I grow these indoors next to my east facing window. The ID's are not 100% positive, but I hope they are right.
Hoya carnosa??
Currently two vines, 5 bunches in total. Smell very nice in the night time.

Second is what I think is Tillandsia ionantha. I got these from Sun rm.N.E. orchid board member.

Nice, looks like they love that window! I love Hoyas, they're one of my favorite plants.

Very nice! My hoya has yet to do more than grow on my other plants and try to root in their pots. I'm hoping to see blooms someday! I like the other, too. Very cool.

i love the Hoya flowers especially the way the light shows up the tiny hairs on the petals - or are they bracts?

Hedge, those are the petals. Beneath them are some very thin sepals. I don't see any bracts. The star shaped center is the corona, which includes the gynostegium (stigma and style and ovary and the anthers all attached to each other).
Here is a pic on the morphology of Aclepiads, except for the horns its basically the same for Hoyas.
