|
I bought this pot of Hoya Multiflora (Javanica) from the nursery two weeks ago. It only has two branches and it flowered almost right after and never stop since. I do not quite remember it without flowers. I like the unusual arrowhead like flowers. Unfortunately, I did not take a picture of the buds before full bloom but I hope to post another shot as I can see many new young peduncles sprouting.

Thanks for stopping by and I am glad everyone appreciates it. This particular one is a shrub and does not have climbing vines. In response to Glendann's question, yes it does. They are sweetly scented if you plonk your nose real close.
