My Hoya is blooming again. Thought I'd post a couple closer pics of a flower -- in these shots you can see the fringe/fuzz along the petals
With the light behind the flower

Ooooh, I really like the fuzz!!!
Its fuzzy like a teddy bear! Love it!
Those are really cool.
I have one that I started from a cutting about 4 years ago that bloomed for the first time a couple of weeks ago.
Hoya carnosa
Whole plant this time.
It's in a six inch pot with an 8" basket over the top with a bamboo trellis stuck down inside.
Is that what the flowers look like?? I have one outside but I've never seen it bloom. How long after established do they usually take to bloom?

I've heard the same thing. Yet, rather to my amusement, this is the 2nd time mine has bloomed for me and I received it as a cutting from a friend sometime within a year period. [Can't remember if it was still '06 or if it was '07]
Mine is H. carnosa 'Krimson Queen'. Overall a much smaller plant than Clint's at this point. Main difference -- mine has varigated foliage w/ new foliage having reddish/pink blushes/highlights.
Connie, if memory serves me correctly, hoyas like to be potbound
Btw, Clint, just in case you didn't know ... don't cut off the "spike"/node. After blooming, it will later bloom again from the same area/node.
