Hoya Compacta Flower from Start to Finish

My compacta just had an umbel of flowers open up, and I actually caught a few pics of the flowers opening. They look so neat when they are in the process of opening, which only lasts a few hours. Even though I have seen this hoya flower a few times, I still love seeing it's flowers and I still love the smell of this one the best (chocolate).

    Interesting progression. I'm still fascinated with these flowers!

    I was just introduced to Hoyas last week. They are very interesting, I wish I had smelled the flowers.

    Great progression shots. I recently was given a clipping from 1 of these but have never seen the flowers. Thanks

    Really neat picture series of hoyas in flower! I owned one when I used to live in Northern Ontario for a long time (4 yrs?) until it succumbed to overwatering, and it never once bloomed. Even though it was in a south window, it really didn't do much, and it didn't grow very much for me either. That being said, I still love these plants and now that I live in a zone 5 environ, I am tempted to try again. Alas, they are expensive when grown to any size.

    I've had one of these plants for about 7 years, it bloomed for the first time last summer. They were, by far, the stinkiest flowers I've ever had the displeasure of smelling. Is that the way they're supposed to smell?

    Love you pics and thanks for sharing!

I love reading everyone's comments. Thank you so much for dropping by my blog. I try to check out everyone's blog that leaves a comment, but I am not always sure what to say to other's as comments. So even though it may seem I am not around much, I always am, I just don't know what to say!

Thanks for stopping by and leaving comments!
