Hoya obovata

It's been a while since I've posted any hoyas and, unfortunately, I failed to take many pictures this year. It's a shame, because we have so many different kinds and the flowers are so striking.

This is Hoya obovata, a wonderful plant that flowers over a long period of time with these gorgeous flowers. We don't grow these commercially and yet we must have at least 25 or thirty large plants.

I tried. I really tried. The light was hitting the flower just right through the kitchen window and I wanted to catch the glimmer of light through the nectar droplets on the flower. Not very successful. I even tried to find the tripod, but it's never where you want it when you need it! So...a jiggly photo.

Oh well, you get the idea...
