So beautiful! I'm waiting so patiently for my Hoya bella to flower. I got it as a little thing almost two years ago now and it's been so slow to take off.

Thanks all - I wish that you could smell it!
Bernie - there'll be no stopping it once it does!

Thanks Karen!
If you look closely, you can see the nectar that oozes out of an evening producing that heady scent.

Oh yes, the droplets....now, if I recall rightly it's sticky isn't it....I think that's why I gave up on my bella.

It is sticky - I'm surprised that she hasn't given it to me!

My mum has this, she is fascinated with the waxy texture of the flowers, she calls it a crown of thorns plant.
