    Very nice! Archie bloomed for me a couple years ago and nothing since. But it's been one of my problem children. I think it's doing better right now.

    What a comeback Sue! That is an incredible number of flowers especially seeing as your plant does not look huge itself.
    Denise my plant has been acting up lately and it has dropped two leaves in the past couple of weeks. I hope I can get it growing strongly again.

    Oh, something I'd like to talk about my green thumb, I find out is when they are root bound, they start to have a lot of flowers. This plant grown in a small pot inside, only 3" wide
    and I put it in bigger pot for more easy standing or hanging.

    Congrats, Sue! They are very beautiful flowers! They remind me of starfish. I love how the sunlight kinda backlights the flowers.

    Awesome and beautiful, Sue. Yes, you do have a green thumb. Thanks for the tip for small pots. I'll have to remember that. Most of my smaller ones are in 4" pots.

    Well, I need to join the chorus and agree that that's a showstopping plant! Great to know that it doesn't have to be mammoth in order to produce such a spectacular display. I think you give your plants very excellent light conditions, though, so I'm trying not to get too excited. ^_~

    Boy I hope mine blooms that great. The one I bought is about 1/4th that size...so...and at the rate my hoyas grow, I am hoping it will grow to blooming size fast. It is in a 4in pot...good to know I wont have to pot it up anytime soon. I knew they had to be rootbound to bloom,it made my Mac. bloom so well. Hope my newly replanted one will bloom soon,now that it is in hanging in the right place, and the right size pot.
