I gave the Hoya plant to my wife during our first year of marriage 52 years ago. It hasn't bloomed for the past few years, so this was a most pleasant surprise. Hoya blooms have a very distinct, pleasant fragrance that fills the room. Recommend Downloading!

Beautiful and a great story also. The download is fabulous, John, but I could barely smell the fragrance.😊

Beautiful plant. Your wife must have a magical touch to keep it thriving these 52 years! And congratulations to you both!

Very beautiful and I think a close-up or crop of just the blooms would be great also, the focus detail is great.

Wow! Beautiful shot of a beautiful plant. I think it's blooming now means you get another 52 years. That's a lot of time to take a lot more photos...and grow a lot more beautiful flowers.

Thank you very much, Joe. I was thinking about the future when I posted and thought about a digital fragrance system. When I opened the door to the back room the fragrance from that little 2 ½" bloom 25 feet away completely filled the room.
