Hoya Plant

I was so amazed when I saw this flower. We were invited for a friends birthday weekend in Atimonan, Quezon. Because I enjoy collecting plants, my eyes really gets big when I see plants especially when it's rare. I was hooked in their window with this plastic looking flower, then I started to touch it, checked on the vines, called our host and asked about this plants. My friend said, it's called hoya carnosa. It is also called a wax plant because it has thick leaves and waxy flowers.

Nhini, thank you for sharing your flower collection. Now I have my share.

This is my hoya plant after three months.
