# The blooms on my Hoya Noona opened up! They smell like cake batter!…

The blooms on my Hoya Noona opened up! They smell like cake batter! 😃😍  
It’s also called Hoya David Cummungii. This variety has yellow flowers. There is also a pink flower variety. I got it last summer from Gardino Nursery in a buy one get one free sale. I bought it in a 4” pot for the foliage. It’s a very fast grower compared to my other hoyas.

None of my hoyas bloomed last year. Six of them are blooming. The only thing changed is they are getting brighter filtered sunlight in the morning. They are in very bright shade outside from 10am. I’m using diluted liquid fertilizer with SuperThrive on all my plants. I used timed release fertilizer beads last year.

Do you remember those sugar gumpaste flowers that used to come on cakes in the 80s-90s? Your blooms remind me of that, or fondant flowers ☺️

That’s a good point. I’m old enough to remember those sugar flowers!

So cute! And now I want cupcakes 🧁 Hoya ‘Noona’ is a hybrid (open pollination) between H. davidcummingii and H. heuschkeliana . One of my favorites 💕

That explains the quick growth and flowers. 🌼
