Once again in (hoya) love.
Just leaving them here, might not have a chance to answer any comments during the next days though, because... life.
Not in order, as always, partly in comment:
1.: Featuring the desperately anticipated hanhiae... way smaller, but just as gorgeous and messy as expected. Almost fully ball-shaped peduncles. And the perfect color I was hoping for (for now I wanted neither pure yellow nor the purely pink one. And this on is... chef's kiss. Truly. Overpowering sweet fragrance too. Love the scent and still had to ban her because it was too much.
2.: one of my more pricier ones, the piestolepis. totally worth it, no scent detected as of yet, but my collection's biggest hoya flowers as of yet. I included various stages, because I found all of them to be very pretty. Not sure I like the speed with which it folds back its petals (i really really love those big velvety stars), but those velvet comets are also very special.
Last for now, is another picture of the Viola, which just happened to open today as well (catching her small window in which she is actually blooming).
I hope all of you are well and are enjoying your weekend. I myself now will disappear again into the void of chaos until summoned. Poof! (please, in this space, vividly imagine a cloud of smoke across your screens while I vanish again). #hoya #hoyahangout #plantsmakepeoplehappy

I have to say, and I mean no offense to anyone but a lot of photos do not show the beauty of these plants โnever cared for them bc just never saw the beauty ๐ซฃโ
these photos clearly show some of the shock & awe that Iโve been missing. Thanks for sharing
and how do they look so much like theyโre made out of glass ๐คฏ๏ฟผ๏ฟผ๏ฟผgreat pictures

Oooooh. For that beautiful compliment, I'll have to reappear, even without time to spare. Thank you so much, @OhGollyItsJolly. ๐
To be fair, I have to say, though, that the compliment probably rather needs to go to my trusty old ancient Samsung cell phone camera, which takes the best pictures (of flower closeups. Humans not so much, as has been well documented by countless failed attempts at decent selfies).
And of course to the flowers themselves. They simply are just that pretty. Great models result in great photos.

@MusicalRedmint Thank you for sharing, Susann! Iโm envious as always ๐
