Hoya Flowers
Macro of Hoya Flowers
My sister, KoKo has this plant for years on her kitchen window sill, and one day I saw these beautiful blooms. They are very exotic looking, and grow face down in a circle-like as you can see in the above photo.
Star Shape Flowers
These flowers have five petals, shaped like a star, and have a pale pink color on them. You can grow these plant in either water, or dirt, and as long as it gets some sun, a few of the leaves will turn white.
Beautiful Hoya
My sister gave me a few branches, and I keep them in a vase of water! They seem to do well on the window sill, and have bloom many times for me already.
Have a great weekend!

I love the looks of the soft fuzzy edges.
ReplyDeletei have for the first time seen this and heard about this flower. but its amazing to see such flowers.. in urdu language "Haya" means "shy" and theyarecalled Hoya in different languag.. dont u think they are shy flowers they are hiding their petals.. they are blushing beneath.

such beautiful unusual flowers! great photos too.
ReplyDeletewhat a lovely weekend flower :)
ReplyDeleteI love the Hoya plants and my plants were originally from my Grandmother's plants, dating back to 1959--52 years ago and they are the most obliging plant you can grow. They love crowded pots, do not require a lot of water, but do love the light. They can be trained to 'fall' or to grow upright with supports. The most fabulous attribute of this plant is the scent of the blooms. You do not smell the scent during the day, the beautiful aroma is prevalent though in the evenings.
ReplyDeleteI loved seeing your plants!! Hugs, Gayle (in Canada)
lovely photos...we call that a wax plant !

I love flowers. This one is truly unique and interesting. Never saw anything like it.
ReplyDeleteI've grown several hoyas, but only had one bloom - but it was lovely. They have an interesting scent, don't they?
ReplyDeleteHappy Pink Saturday!
I have never seen a plant like this before growing face down with such lovely petals!
ReplyDeleteI love flowers. I love photography.
ReplyDeleteAnd you have done both for me.
I shall have little time surfing the internet during weekdays.
Hope you continue both on my behalf.
Hi...One of my grandmothers had a huge Hoya in a big brass pot...the kind with handles on the sides with lions heads. I loved that plant. It is a vine and she had it trained in a big circle. I was always fascinated, as a child, not only with that brass pot, but the tiny, lovely waxy pale pink/white blooms.
ReplyDeleteWhen my beloved Granna passed, I immediately went out to find myself a Hoya. It did not live long and then when we were about to leave Arizona for Michigan 9 years ago, I saw one in the grocery store. I, of course, bought it and I have it to this day. It did not grow. It just stayed the same small plant. I moved it, this summer, to a sunnier window and now it has a long runner and new leaves. I am on the hunt for a brass pot like my Granna's and hope to bring it to bloom. I had no idea it could also grow in just water.
Loved your post as it brought back sunny memories!
HPS!

Beautiful photos! My wife has a Hoya which she got from her mother. They do seem to live forever and are low maintenance. Ours has a pinkish-red flower, but otherwise looks identical.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the post!
beautiful shot Icy, and thank you much for naming, I had this at home but would you believe I do not know the name? :(
ReplyDeleteThese are so pretty. Every time I see hoya on blogs I wonder whether they'll do well in our hot and humid climate. Never seen one around where I live. Your pictures are fabulous!
ReplyDeleteAs a gardener I have enjoyed your beautiful flower pictures.
ReplyDeleteFall has arrived in our garden in Canada.
Please visit my blog and view my fall decorations.
Beautiful flowers.
ReplyDeleteRegards and best wishes
You have solved a mystery for me Icy. We had that plant in our garden and I had no idea what it was called. They are such lovely flowers - small and pink and delicate.
ReplyDeleteWow! Those are wonderful! I like the idea of just sticking them in water...I have a few plants like that here...but none that flower.
ReplyDeleteWow these looks like orchids. It is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteWish I had a sister like yours:) Lovely flowers!
