I spy with my little eye..

.... Well, not exactly.  I spy with the camera eye; mine can't see nearly this well.

The Hoya plant is trying to bloom for the 3rd time this year.... this was the last flower clump, only about a month ago...gee, have I had this camera that long already?  The summer has flown.  I still have no clue how to use it..but, am having lots of fun just trying it here and there.

Anyway... look how waxy they appear before they bloom... maybe even plastic....don't look real at all to me.

And closer yet...I see little hairs on the stems...you have to click to enlarge to see those....hahahhaha..

When the flowers open, the centre looks like a title plastic star...and the petals.. ...   barely a hint of pink...and, so soft and fuzzy looking... they have the most amazing scent in last evening and early morning.  It permeates the whole house.  Apparently it is to attract a certain type of moth.

This one's for you Gwen...

Here is my little honey dripping Hoya....

so soft and furry the petals... just like plastic the centres... now... dripping and losing little flowers...    still putting out a lovely evening scent... hoping to attract one of those special pollinating moths... don't think we have any living in this area though...
