    Gorgeous blooms Mayyan!! I love the all white blooms... so rare to see blooms that pure looking...you have some beautiful blooms. I especially love the hummingbirds nest on your austrailis...that is so Cool! Thanks for the great photos!!

    Oh, I forgot to comment on the one hoya you are asking about...it looks similar to my Hoya vanuatuensis?? Possibly it might be that...

    thanks all for your kind words.

    @puglvr1
    Your vanuatuensis is beautiful . I am not sure mine is also vanuatuensis. The flowers on my plant are very close to the stem and also the leaves shape looks a bit different. Thanks for trying.

    So lovely, the iml 1600 is the best! I have heard mindorensis is sticky, is that true? I mean more than most hoyas! The nest is just so cute. ~ Mary

    Mayyan, thank you so much for starting a new thread and posting so many gorgeous photos! It was Hoya overload, for me. My eyes were boggled right out of my head. :P

    I especially liked the mindorensis pictures. I have wanted to see this flower in person soooo badly since I started growing Hoyas, but your pictures are the next best thing. That yellow one is so delicate and hairy... it's crazy!

    My lobbii (dark form) started opening right as I left town, but thankfully it was still in bloom when I got back (thanks for crossing your fingers for me, pug!) This one blooms for a looooong time! Also, the pictures make it look a lot lighter than it is. It's such a decadent gothy black raspberry shade. (This is the one I posted bud pictures of in the original June thread.)

    Also my Hoya parasitica x pachyclada opened yesterday and wasn't it all set to have the best sap buffet in town!? :P

    Btw, does anyone else hate the new Flickr setup, where you have to be looking at the individual photo in order to grab the share code? Thanks for forcing about a zillion extra clicks by the time I'm done, Flickr! -_-

    Thanks for the compliments. I got the mindorensis cuttings about 2 years ago and they all bloomed for the first time this June. I am not an experienced grower but if you want me to guess, I think a worm winter (about 18 degrees Celsius) and a lot of light did the trick.

    Great pics everyone!!!! Mayyan I particularly like your cagayanensis. The foliage on this plant is awesome! Also how neat is it to have a hummingbird actually nest in one of your hoya plants!!!

    GG, that lobbii photo is very cool as is the parasitica X pachyclada.

    I have but a single flower photo to share with you all today and it's of my H. praetorii in the process of closing. I think this is a really neat photo!!

    Hoyas are such a cool plant! Your plants are absolutely beautiful! The conservitorie I volunteered at had not that flowed like water from its pot. Absolutely massive! Soon I will have one of my own!

    David, that is an Awesome picture! I love how it looks purple! Very pretty!

    GG, the Lobbii blows me away! I can't even imagine it being darker in person!

    Nancy, that H. patella is so pretty. It reminds me of a frilly quilted pillow!
    The leaves are gorgeous! I hope your trip is going well. Youll have to catch us up on where all you went:)
    Mayyan, I love all your photos. The Mindorensis Is especially exquisite! And I've never seen baby hummers! Thanks for posting!

    Brad,congratulations!! Getting H.Belle Is A great accomplishment. It is a such beautiful, delicate hoya. One day I will try it.
