Summer is here

Well it has been a while since I wrote anything.  The next couple days I should have a lot to add though. With summer arriving, the Hoyas are growing and blooming away.  I'm going to be putting together a Hoya list, of all the Hoyas I have soon.

But, here is one I have had for almost three years now.  I received it from SRQ Hoyas (which I can't praise enough).  It bloomed for the first time last summer, and this summer it is putting on a show.  The frangrance of this Hoya is odd to me.  Kind of smells like rotten oranges and cinnamon mixed together.  I have seen others describe it as a mixture of dill and cinnamon.  But no matter the fragrance, it is a vigorous plant for me.  I currently have it potted in coconut coir in a 5 inch pot with slits on the sides.  I allow it to dry out completely before watering again, and it gets full sun from about 10am to 2pm.
