It looks like our Hoya (wax plant) might flower again sometime next month or so. This plant flowered for us last summer. We’ve always been under the impression Hoya’s didn’t flower often. Years ago, Mom had a different and much bigger Hoya plant and it never once flowered leading her to believe they are hard to get to flower. Then again, she’d also heard the flowers were very fragrant and this particular plant is not fragrant at all. Perhaps this plant hadn’t heard all that. Not everyone reads, you know.

Quint doesn’t care about silly houseplants, unless he can nom on the leaves. While we not going to say he can’t possibly get to the Hoya to chew on its thick leaves, it’s located in a relatively safe spot up and away from inquisitive boy cats. So far, so good!

Editor’s note: The Hoya won’t bloom after all. Perhaps, from the window it sits near, it sensed last week’s scant snowflakes and made the decision to drop its buds and wait for warmer weather. Can you blame it?
