A Visit with Hoya oblongacutifolia

A large (and smelly!) floral display on the plant formally known as Hoya graveolens.

I bet its a rare thing to see one with this many blooms. They are so pretty. I have 3...May be one day I will have blooms. Tks for sharing.

Thanks for the video Doug! This plant reminds me of the orchid Bulbophyllum phalaenopsis, which has some really fascinating blooms, but many people don't grow it because it apparently smells like a corpse.

A beautiful plant with gorgeous blooms! Love the closeup still shots. I have a question ? Do you think the Hoyas bloom better if allowed to climb up ward vs curling around on a lattice etc. I can see that yours has bloomed quite well on the lattice so maybe it's the light more than the climbing.

Nice flowers! I've been struggling to get my tiny Hoya Serpents growing properly. Got it last summer and it has been putting out new growth several times but this yellows and fades every time so i fear i don't give it the right care. I try to give it water before it goes completely dry. It sits in my windowsill facing south and is protected against direct sunlight. Have vents open in my window so it might get a few cold gust from the vent when it's windy outside. Springtime here up north i Norway means shifting themps ranging from 40 to 65 F. Any good suggestions?
