Thanks you everyone for a warm welcome. I feel great and I'm glad that everything gone well for me this year. I missed you all.

Does anyone have this color on the Bella variegated leaves?

This is the first time bloomming of this plant, it blooms on Every branches, nice light fragrance.

Hoya Kentiana

Hoya Shepherdii, it has a lot clear nectar too.

Hoya David Cumingii

Hoya Wayetii, I love the dropping nectar, it taste sweet.

Thanks you for looking

Fantastic photos and the colour on you bella is beautiful and something I have never seen before.
The one you have listed as kentiana looks like the hybrid Minibelle which is Hoya Carnosa x shepherdii.

Beautiful photos Sue! I love the bella (never seen one like that before) and the one below bella with all the big pink balls of flowers is stunning.... what variety is that...you have it as kentiana? (Is that what it is? ) I thought Kentiana had much smaller flowers and leaves? anyways they are gorgeous and thanks for sharing them with us....

Glad you're back. I am not surprised the cat is behind you every step of the way. I am sure it believes it is King of the Jungle, and you are its treasured friend. Keeping you out front to watch out for you.

Hey Trudi, I will check those toms out. You are, as always, the best. Hey Karen! Wassup? I spent three hours today clearing my garden space to put my WS containers in starting next week. I have a wind-sheltered space between my barn and my house that gets lots of late afternoon sun that has worked great for WS containers the past two years. It was overgrown with weeds that have since died and were brown and crispy, easy to pull up. Time to start the obsessive hunt for seeds.

Theresa, so good to hear from you. :) I too have been largely absent from most of the conversations this year. Life has this thing about taking us where it wants, versus where we think it ought to. I received a promotion back in May and damned if it hasnÃ¢ÂÂt kept my tail in high gear. A lot of expectations, but the role is rewarding and I am finally settling in after almost 6 months. A shame about your computer problems, but it seems you are past that hurdle as I can read your text quite clearly. As for the tornados, God Bless you. I would probably suffer a small heart attack before the tornado ever touched ground. I very much respect the capacity of Mother Nature at her worst. Wonderful that you came through with only a few less shingles and siding. Did any of your potted hostas take the brunt of the wind ? I know it is so clichÃÂ©, but that which does not kill us only makes us stronger. Think how much better things will be in the Spring when the gorgeous foliage returns to us all. So glad you took the time to check in. Provided the gnomes donÃ¢ÂÂt crash your computer again, keep us posted since we missed most of your botanical adventures this year. You Go Girl !!! Ludi

Thanks everyone for all your prayers and caring words. It does help when I 'visit' here to escape for a little while. It's so nice to see all your lovely tables and holiday decorations..please forgive me if I haven't commented on them...but I do love them all. I'm going to have my GKids here for a few days and for Easter...so I'm getting a little excited to do some decorating for them. It will be something nice to look forward to., Thanks again...love you guys for all your support. jane

Sue, your flowers are beautiful. I especially like the bella with those gorgeous leaves. Do you have it in the sun? If so, that why the color on the leaves. I've never seen any with leaves that coloring. I lost mine-froze to death.

Beautiful photos, Sue! Especially like the last one!

I have the same bella Luis Bois! Mine isn't getting as much pink on it - think it's due to being in an area protected from the sun. It's definitely one of my favorite hoyas!

Sue, your hoyas are really beautiful...you certainly have a green thumb. I've never seen variegated bella like yours...its so pretty. My variegated bella keeps dying on me :o(

Great job growing them! Thanks for great pictures. Glad you're back!

My 'Luis Bois' has never gotten that reddish color, but I've only ever grown it indoors. That is just spectacular! I'd say it hardly even looks like a Hoya anymore, but I should know better.

I think some hoya needs dry and cool in winter (like orchids or Clivia) in order to flower.
This Bella is my favorite too.
