Hoya thomsonii

Oosterzele

from India (Himalaya)

Dark green leaves with various amounts of sulver flecks. Both leaves and stems are pubescent. The stems are quite thin, about1/10 of an inch, and fragile.

Blooms in umbels of 20-30 large, white, slightly cup shaped and highly fragrant flowers.

If kept slightly moist at all times it seems a quite easily cultivated plant. Prefers a somewhat cool and shaded position and a window facing north is sufficient, east is ideal.
