Hoya blossom up close and personal

I got a cutting from my grandmother's Indian Rope plant (hoya) from my mother. I don't know if it ever bloomed for my mother, but we accidentally discovered how to get ours to bloom - it loves to be root bound. The blossoms are umbrella shaped clusters that look waxy, almost artificial. Magnified the flowers look fuzzy. The flower above is about a half inch across.

I love these delicate little flowers - well done on getting them to flower so well.
This is a good close up showing the fluffy texture which I have never seen - never seen it maginified like this.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
