Excellant sharp pics, Kelly! Those are the type of pics vendors love to showcase their wares. :)

As far as a color difference, any chance the lighting was a bit different this time compared to last?

Those are Gorgeous Kelly...I agree with Paul! You have a way with the camera, very sharp picture for sure. Beautiful photo!!

Ooo-la-la, Kelly! My first buds of 'Bright One' just opened up today, so your post is very timely. I never get tired of that typical musky-sweet scent of pubicalyx. And I agree - you have a way with the camera!

beautiful photos kelly! cant wait to get some blooms now:)

Very pretty! One of these days one of my pubicalyxes will bloom for me. I am eyeing Pink Silver in particular. That one looks like an octopus taking over my kitchen. I just love how hoya flowers look so fuzzy.

Hmmmmm...here's a picture from last year. Paul, it did bloom at a different time last year, so it may have been getting slightly different light!

This is one of 3 publicalyx I have. Also have Red Buttons and a dark purple hybrid. Has anyone seen the later bloom?

Thanks for the compliments! This is an easy one to photograph as the flowers are a decent size! Plus, it's outside which helps!

Love the pics. And especially the white outline of the flowers.

Beautiful!!!!

Nice photographs, Kelly! Don't you ever wish you could negotiate a trade with the vendors? Photos for periodic free cuttings! Maybe you could even get a trip/tour out of it, in my fantasy world!

That's right, I don't call the shots in my fantasy world.

I'm not sure what dark purple publicalyx hybrid you speak of!

Bealutiful bloom. I love the little fuzzy hairs on the edge.

How pretty! I'm waiting on my pubicalyx- any of them- to get big enough to bloom.

Hi GG, not Kelly...but I do have a pubicalyx 'chimera' that I would call sort of "purplish" color. I've also seen some 'Royal Hawaiian purple' or Red buttons have this type of shade although my RHP blooms looks almost identical to my 'pink silver' which is closer to Kelly's color.

Kelly, I do agree that light probably has a lot to do with the different shades of color blooms. Even with this exact hoya I notice I have different shades of blooms at different times of the year.

Here's a bloom from my 'chimera'

Beautiful, Pug!

Check the Liddle Catalog for the publicalyx purple hybrid. I don't have the catalog handy, but I think it's in there, although that's not where I got mine.
