Wax Plant (common name)

I only know this plant by it's common name, variagated Wax Plant. Every summer, if I water regularly, this potted plant grows several "balls" of these wax-and-velvet flowers.

 

hello Love4Bugs

hoya carnosa I think

 

Thanks! I've had it over 15 years and always neglected it, until it started growing these amazing flowers!

 

hoya are succulents - they like being neglected!

i agree with h. carnosa as they variety. lovely blooms on it! i've got some cuttings of that that i am rooting - will be a long while before they bloom.

 

Agree with Hoya carnosa.

The nectar produced by the flowers is delicious!

 

Please, tell me how you collect the nectar! And how do you eat it - on toast?

 

Dab your fingertip onto a bead of nectar, and lick it off your fingertip. Repeat, until all drops consumed!
