Happy Hoya

Wow! Just a short week after my hoya compacta plant dropped its flowers, new buds had already formed. These buds start out as tiny pink beads on small stems. As they grow, they flatten out into the flower-shaped disks picured here. This is what they look like shortly before they open. In fact, the day after I took this photo, the flowers opened. If you click the picure to enlarge it, you'll notice a smaller bud already forming in the lower left corner. The plant must be happy in this spot, because it looks like it's going to provide color all season...and that makes me happy, too. :)
