Re: stinky flowers, the particular stink of this variety is different from the many other stinks that different varieties of hoya produce. They've been described like all sorts of foods (vanilla, chocolate, citrus), and mine is closer to the smell of rotting greenery.
@erica
my mom has such a flower, too, and it really stinks. Didn't know it's a hoya. My mom calls it wax flower, and the whole room smells of it.
@kikir they sure can be pungent!
They've got a few names, including wax plant & porcelain flower.
@erica
ah, I've already heard the term porcelain flower and didn't know it's the same. yours looks beautiful, though
@kikir thanks! Even if your mom's plant is stinky, I hope you enjoy the pretty flowers 😅
