More of my hoyas here.
The umbels on the hoya plant at my studio are happy and opening very quickly. Here’s what they looked like just a week ago. The umbels from left to right are getting ready to open, actively opening, and open.
The Hazan+Co. studio hoya plant has a bunch of peduncles currently growing umbels. Each individual flower on the umbel is a pentagon shape before it opens to a star shape.
These two hoya peduncles were photographed about a year ago, just before they were decapitated in a tragic tumble off the windowsill during a houseplant rearrangement. An unfortunate event, because it could take a couple of years for a new peduncle to grow. Before the accident this one was dripping nectar and ready to bloom an umbel of star-shaped yellow flowers.

A detail of the Holliana plant in the last post.
A variegated dwarf Hoya carnosa cultivar called “Holliana.” The leaves are crinkled with green in the center and white around the edges of the leaf. The flowers (someday…) will look much like those on my old carnosa which blooms clusters of pink star-shaped flowers with crimson centers.
