Congrats! To be honest, the pitcher caught my attention first ![[Embarrassed]](im/redface.gif)
! I'd say you've exprienced a double blessing! Blessing one, you were able to put cuttings of something that you had extra of into others' hands, and blessing two, flowers! Those are pretty flowers...umm...a question that's not really related, are those strings that hang the pots just rope or are they a marcrame pot hanger?

Those blooms are just gorgeous, angelblossom. Are we saying that cutting back hoyas encourage flower growth??

Pekemom.... I don't know if cutting them back encouraged the new bloom spurs or not..., it was more a question than a statement,, I just found it odd they developed a lot of spurs right after cutting back,, I've understood they bloom just once or twice a year but these have bloomed a total of 3 times now in the fall in the late spring and now,,

BTW the close up bloom smells lightly like chocolate

Dianne, your Hoya look very happy and are rewarding you with more blooms. ![[Wink]](im/wink.gif)
I especially like that second picture showing a close up of the flower. And since you say they smell like Chocolate, I know I must have one of these plants. I'm a life-long ChocoHolic. lol!

Rosie...... the cream and white leafed one smells like chocolate,, this particular plant also grows bubblegum pink colored leaves and has dark pink vines some of the leaves are cream and green and some solid green >> Variegated?
The other one is lightly scented not sweet tho.

I think I have the same hoya as you do. Mine is blooming just like yours, and I think for the second time as well. I'm not sure what mine smells like, some say just a faint sweet green smell.
So Rose if you are looking for the chocolate smell make sure you know for sure which hoya to get, there are so many of them.

For this "New Year" help me to be kinder and more loving to all around me, I pray.
