This plant began as a cutting from Mother's hoya after her untimely death twenty-four years ago. Its green leaves now wind in and out and all around to cover the entire window sill area plus a little more.
When Jen, who has been the main caretaker for this special hoya, mentioned that it was blooming, I raced to take a picture since it had been a long time since I'd seen a hoya blossom.
Good job, Jen!

Beautiful photograph of Nature in all her wonderment. As always, a delightful post:)
I thought it was plastic at first. What a fantastic looking plant.
Plants are simply amazing! I have a "hoya" but it's completely different; yours is so unusual. Thanks for posting this.
That's a great looking plant - and very well taken.
How very interesting and unique.
Hoya! Hoya! Hooray!
Hoya! Hoya! Hooray!
It looks like a bouquet of stars. Very beautiful. Are they difficult to grow?
Does this have something to do with Georgetown University's Hoyas?
Lovely stars.
On behalf of the ABC Wednesday team, thank you! - ROG
Gorgeous flowers, - they look like porcelain.
What a striking flower! I've never seen one. It is so unusual - very textured.
Thanks so much for your lovely comment.
wow so tender and beautiful
Love the way they reflect the light.
I never seen a hoya. What does the rest of it look like? And, I wonder why it doesn't bloom very often? Many unanswered questions, I suppose.
I'd never heard of a hoya before. Just googled it and it's my new favorite flower. Thanks for sharing.
Never seen anything like these flowers. They look like they are made out of wax. I wish I would remember the name of them for the future, but I don't think it's going to happen. Getting old!
What a gorgeous flower! never heard of it before, it's fantastic!!
U is for unoccupied
Lovely little waxy flowers. I'm guessing they smell very nice too. :)
Hoya is a magnificent plant and on your photo they look like silk! Great shot!
Don't think I've ever seen a hoya. Lovely photograph. Thanks.
How wonderful that it is still flourishing after nearly a quarter of a century and remains a lovely memento. Someone obviously has green fingers and just the right location:-)
wow! that is one beautiful flower. I've never known a Hoya flower.
Wow ... I've never even heard of a Hoya, let alone seen one. What a stunning picture! It does look plastic!
I just watched some time lapse movies on You Tube of Hoya flowers opening, and I'm even more amazed. How lovely for you to see your mother's plant flowering so beautifully!
It's wonderful that the cutting has thrived for so many years. It's beautiful!
OMG! When I saw the picture, I thought the post was about a craft project. I can't believe those are real flowers!
What a beauty!

Never seen anything like that in my life. It looks straight out of National Geographic magazine!
How beautiful, it almost looks unreal.
