I bought a tiny little starter plant of Hoya Retusa (the Grass Leaved Hoya) just about four years ago now, on Etsy. For a while it looked really weak, but then it seemed to stabilize in its new pot.
It has grown VERY sloooowly for me, but it does a little better each year.
A year ago it produced one tiny blossom. Just one.
Well last night in my office I smelled the distinct fragrance of a hoya flower, but I could not find any blooms on my 'usual suspects' hoyas. But then I finally found THREE little single blossoms happily blooming on my Retusa... yay! It's an appealing sweet light scent. This plant is very undemanding and looks very pretty hanging in the window with its delicate grasslike fronds.

Close up of two tiny hoya plant blooms. They are star shaped, outer petals creamy white with another inner star in maroon. My hand holds the sprig with the blossoms, the green leaves are like thin blades of grass.

Aufgrund ihrer herzförmigen Blätter ist die #Hoya kerrii bei uns auch unter den Namen "Herzblatt-Pflanze", "Herzpflanze" oder "Kleiner Liebling" bekannt.
Sie wird durch Stecklinge vermehrt. Schneidet einfach ein Blatt ab und pflanzt es in ein leicht feuchtes (Sukkulenten)Substrat

Starting to get into hoyas a bit, this is a common one I guess (got it from garden centre).
Thought it may look nice with a bit of wire guiding it‘s way.
Maybe some hoya nerds can say if this wire thingi is ok with hoya or do thesr need wooden/organic support?
Youtube says that guidance helps these plants growing 🤷‍♂️

Technisches Hilfswerk (THW)

Rund 120 Frauen haben am Samstag am #Helferinnentag des #THW in #Hoya teilgenommen. Dort konnten sie verschiedene Aufgaben und Einsatzoptionen ausprobieren, etwa Baggerfahren, #Höhenrettung oder #Brückenbau. Außerdem gab es Informationen und Workshops, etwa zu Auslandseinsätzen, Einsatz-Nachsorge und Selbstbehauptung. Nebenbei blieb noch ausreichend Zeit zum Netzwerken. Der THW-Helferinnentag ermöglicht weiblichen Einsatzkräften Einblicke in immer noch stark männlich geprägte Einsatzbereiche.

I have a confession: Months ago I tried to persuade y'all that no Danish nocturnal insects takes interest in the flowers of Hoya linearis.

I lied.

The plant has been hanging from the ceiling in my bedroom all winter. Today I took it down to offer it some water, and now there are downy seeds all over my bedroom (I guess I should be grateful that I'm single).

To conclude:

Some of the flowers must have been pollinated while the plant was hanging in the garden last summer.

The seedpods must have looked somewhat like the leaves of the plant, and in retrospect I have been a little worried since some of the “leaves” looked yellowish, but since it was just here and there and didn't seem to affect the whole plant, I wasn't too worried.

Turns out the yellow “leaves” were actually seedpods that have now burts open and revealed lots and lots of seeds — each attached to something that looks like eiderdown. They fly at even the faintest breeze. This is gonna be fun…

People who know me also know that now I have to try and sow those seeds to see if I can grow new plants from seeds.

Did my mom and dad fsck in a greenhouse, that early summerday back then? 🤔

I'm always so suss when people in the hoya group have species that I can't find in shops here... did you do a sneaky import? Hrmmmmm.

Another search shows that someone actually got a cutting from Australia to the USA. So maybe people are just sharing cuttings and keeping it rare? HRMMMMMM.

Rude! (It's a Hoya inflata, very cute flowers. I really would love to obtain one! 😭)

Very close photo of the flowers of a Hoya inflata. They are a lovely buttery yellow and bell shaped with little turned back petals around the edge.
