I have a couple of variegated hoya vines inside, draped around a
window which is shaded by a layered bed of large rhododendrons and
pieris, overtopped by a couple of filberts supporting vast kiwi and
grape vines. As you can imagine, not much light reaches the window.
Despite this, the hoyas, which subsist on very infrequent water,
bloom quite often. I can tell when they are blooming because the
flowers waft a chocolate scent.
