I bought this hoya as a rather large plant in September 2002. I actually bought it in a building supply store! It was wrapped around a rusty small support and I spent quite some time untangling the vines and rewrapped them on another support. Looked much better and no more rust!

This is truly a hoya that grows fast and flowers often. It didn't have any buds when I bought it but it didn't take long before it flowered. Now it flowers constantly and our living room is often filled with this sweet caramel fragrance. Not only from this hoya, though...

I took some cuttings from it and planted in a small hanging pot and placed it in a west facing window where I knew it would get a lot of sunshine. This little plant flowered all the time. The leaves on this plant were much smaller and some of them were completely red (see picture below). Absolutely gorgeous foliage!
