I was so excited to find the buds for these beautiful blooms on my hoya a few weeks ago. I have always admired the delicate flowers of my mom's plants. Small beaded stars that are so unique! And that fresh hint of chocolate......how can you not fall in love with them?
My mom had given me cuttings from her rope-like hoya several years ago. Unfortunately, it didn't survive the winters in our tiny brick rental when the furnace would breakdown and we had no heat for several days. Then a friend gave me one of her plants that was huge and being attacked by her cats. I repotted the plant and it struggled for a few years. I am thankful that our new house has served as a good home for this plant. It is now doing extremely well in the window above my kitchen sink. It is actually taking over the space and I need to add something to the window frame to allow it to climb!
