Hoya pubicalyx

Hoya pubicalyx "Royal Hawaiian Purple"

Hoya is a genus of tropical plants in the Asclepiad family.
Common name is Wax Plant. There are over 200 species of Hoya.
I have about 10 different species at home and this one grows
in our sleeping room together with 3 other species. In the
evening our room is filled with its delicious sweet scent.
Typical is also the big drops of nectar on the flowers that
my kids (and I) love to lick. Don't put those plants in a room
with carpeting.

I love this - I'm very much into flowers boring my sons to death with them - Fantastic view of Hoya. I'm using Pentax Optio 550 - Canon EOS 10D or similar on my wish list - I'm Duncans mum and was advised to look at your site.
