Hoya mindorensis
Well since Picotee brought up the "hoya thang" and because this one just happens to be in bloom currently ....
Definitely one of my favorite Hoya. Do wish it would grow more for me. Got one whole new leaf this year. :rolleyes: Obviously something is not up to par with my husbandry but on the flip side, it hasn't died either.

That is awesome. Usually only see the white star shaped ones with the pink centres. I have one currently in bloom, about 20 flower clusters. Hmmmm, I should post a pic

Really nice!
I have the white star with pink center type. Mine grows all the time... but hasn't flowered in years, since I repotted it about 7 years ago. I used to love seeing it flower. My mum's (which mine was a cutting from) flowers a lot but doesn't grow much.

nice hoya blooms  I got me carnosa budding up. I love the smell of the hoyas...ya carnosa is run of the mill everyday plant you see at HD and Lowes. You dont see many of them blooming. I dont see much else here besides the carnosa's.
Good Job!!
They are easy to grow just not to get them to bloom.

Very nice flowers. Congratulations.
Like everyone else, I have the basic white/pink flowers. You should try growing them semi-hydro. Mine grow like weeds and I don't have to worry about rotting them anymore. Only thing I don't like about them is their tendency to grow a couple feet of stem without any leaves.
Cheers.
Jim
